Blog containing a series on compiler development

Teaches compiler development from the bottom up using common technologies such as Flex, Bison and LLVM.
Provides complete implementation of the compiler at each stage of the process, encouraging experimentation and understanding.
Contains 25,000+ words in 9+ posts, each with an associated compiler version.

pegasus

LALR parser generator for the C and Crystal languages.

Provides a set of programs for creating LALR(1) parsers.
Supports the C and Crystal languages, exposing an API for the implementation of parsers for other languages.
Generates parsers with diverse functionalities, from building parse trees to using semantic actions.
Defines a generic syntax for semantic actions to maximize code reuse.

chalk

Compiler from a small language into CHIP-8 bytecode.

Employs a Crystal implementation of parser combinators to parse language.
Compiles code to intermediate assembly language, then to CHIP-8 bytecode.
Supports in-text representation of sprites for easy editing.

abcs

Calculator program with a complete embedded programming language.

Interfaces with GNU MPFR to perform arbitrary precision aritmetic.
Provides complete language supporting parametric polymorphism, partial function application and higher order functions.
Uses hand-written parser to allow for the definition of arbitrary operators at runtime.

scylla

Elm-based purely functional front end for the Matrix chat protocol.

Defines a purely functioal reactive web interface using the Model-Update-View architecture.
Employs lazy evaluation to optimize common operations.
Implements part of the Matrix standard for open source, decentralized communication.

Technical Experience

Research Assistant

Oregon State University | Spring 2018 - Present

Devised and implemented language to explain behavior of spreadsheets to new users.
Developed tooling in Haskell to verify, generate, and debug the explanation language.
Contributed to research paper published to the International Conference on Generative Programming.

Lead Programmer

Northwest Advanced Programming Workshop | Summer 2017

Designed and implemented a desktop calculator application with a focus on usability and feature-completeness.
Worked on a variety of components, including parsing input through a custom regular expression engine, evaluating expressions through Taylor Series, and UI design
Profiled and debugged application in order to find inefficiencies, reducing computation time by 60%.
Led a small team using the git version control system.
Exercised public speaking and communication skills by reporting progress to supervisor and presenting to other teams.

Participant

Oregon Game Project Challenge | Spring 2016 and 2017

Worked in a team to complete video game to be presented at main event.
Created a game engine from scratch using Entity Component Systems architecture.
Used OpenGL shaders and normal mapping to create 2D-shadow system.
Developed interaction between physical components (microcontrollers) and the video game for multi-user cooperation.

Finalist

Google Code In, Online Competition | Winter 2016

Worked with large open-source project written in C.
Interacted with other developers to set goals, merge changes, and run tests.
Improved quality of source code, reduced code repetition, and fixed bugs.
