Programming Experience

C / C++

C is a great language, and C++ provides a few nice improvements.

• Compiler and interpreter programming example➚
• Low-level programming in Unix environments example➚
• Command-line tools example➚

Rust

Rust is my favourite language, for its type system, macros, and efficiency.

• Command-line tools example➚
• Static site generation frameworks example➚
• Image processing example➚
• Graphics rendering (ggez)
• Procedural macros and metaprogramming

JavaScript / TypeScript

A necessary skill for front-end web development.

• Client-side vanilla javascript with HTML and CSS or SCSS example➚
• React single page applications example➚
• Server-side Node.JS, Express

Other languages which I am familiar with

• Posix-compliant shell scripting (Bash)
• Some Zig, Java, Lua, and Haskell
• Popular CLI tools, like coreutils, FFmpeg, etc.
• A bit of experience in Python, Handlebars, and AutoHotkey.

Projects

• LASIM – LC-3 Assembler & Simulator

  Language: C++

  An implementation of both an assembler and simulator for the Little Computer 3 (LC-3) assembly language.

  Check out LASIM on GitHub

• EveryGarf – Download every Garfield comic as an image

  Language: Rust

  A command-line tool which scrapes GoComics.com to download every Garfield comic concurrently.

• Ibex – Static site generation framework for Rust

  Language: Rust

  Write HTML-style templates, which compile to static HTML files. Perfect for sites without dynamic content, that are only changed occasionally. Similar to Handlebars.js, but memory-safe and strongly-typed!

  Check out Ibex on GitHub, a basic SSG template

• Phonet – Declarative phonotactics validation, using RegEx

  Language: Rust

  Used to create constructed lanugages (conlangs).

  Check out Phonet on GitHub, or on Crates.io

Projects I Have Contributed To

• Git ✨

  Language: C

  Fixed a bug relating to integer underflow when using a commit timestamp close to Unix Epoch with a positive timezone offset. GitHub shows the PR as closed/unmerged, because the Git repo on GitHub is just a mirror.

  View PR: fix: prevent date underflow when using positive timezone offset #1726

• Lace – LC-3 assembly toolchain

  Language: Rust

  Implemented an interactive debugger interface, along with many other minor features and fixes.

  View PR: Debugger #46
