Computer Engineering @ SJSU | President's Scholar | Low-Level Systems & Bare Metal
zero frontend bloat. instantaneous load. physical receipts.
malloc, free, and the discipline between them. You own every byte you request - and you are responsible for giving it back.
forks, pipes, signals, and file descriptors. Concurrency the way the kernel intended, with the reaping to prove it.
register, clock, and interrupt. No RTOS, no HAL fluff - just the datasheet, the toolchain, and a logic analyzer.
every line hand-reasoned and understood. Generated code has no place on a board that has to boot.
working binaries on real hardware, not README screenshots. If it runs, it ships.
A POSIX-compliant Unix shell in C. Builds and tears down process trees the way the kernel expects, with a hand-written tokenizer that never spills.
A CHIP-8 emulator in C. The full interpreter driven by a 35-opcode function-pointer dispatch table, drawing a monochrome 64x32 framebuffer.
A native iOS vehicle utility app. SwiftUI interface, local-first persistence, and background sync that behaves even when the network does not.
The lab is reachable. Type a command or hit a run button below - the box is live, not a mockup.

memory mapped. interrupts up. no bloat loaded.
