Projects
PintOS
A variation of the BSD operating system in x86 architecture with a monolithic kernel, written in C.
GitC
Implemented different process schedulers such as MLFQ and priority schedulers, enforcing thread safety during concurrent execution. Implemented other features found in modern operating systems including user programs, syscalls, paging and virtual memory.
InfoMaps
Automated geographical data extractor and infographic generator.
DockerReactNodeHTMLKotlinJavaJavaScriptPythonCSS
A web application implemented in React and Java that accepts any arbitrary search query and displays the results in an interactive map UI. The results are generated by scraping multiple online sources of data for relevant geographical information. Implemented using a microservice architecture with Dockerand HTTP requests.
WACC Compiler
ANTLR-based compiler for converting programs in the statically-typed language WACC into ARM11 assembly, written in Kotlin
GitGradleANTLRJUnitReactKotlin
Incorporated syntactic and semantic analysis through abstract syntax tree traversal. Extensively tested using JUnit and Gradle. As an extension, created an interactive web application for executing and inspecting WACC programs by relating their object code output with their abstract syntax tree.
ARM11 Project
An assembler and an emulator for ARM11 assembly instructions, written in C
GitC
Assembled and executed ARM11 assembly files.
As an extension, developed and trained a neural network to perform time series forecasting and predict equity prices..
wacc-compiler-web
