Projects

Iris
  • Built a compiler from scratch with multi-level IR (HIR->MIR), SSA construction/deconstruction, dominator analysis, and data-flow analysis, featuring GVN, LICM, DCE, DBE, and TCO
  • Implemented deterministic CFG-to-structured WebAssembly lowering via Ramsey (2022) for reducible control-flow graphs
Eridu
  • Built a C-like programming language from scratch with first-class functions, pointers, stack frame management, abstract data types, and basic optimizations such as constant folding, targeting x86 AT&T assembly
  • Developed custom testing and benchmarking frameworks in Python for correctness verification and performance evaluation against C/C++
August
  • Built a Bitcoin-inspired blockchain platform with proof-of-work consensus, libp2p-based P2P networking, dynamic difficulty adjustment, longest-chain fork resolution, and gas-metered smart contracts executed on a custom stack-based virtual machine (AVM)
  • Developed Marigold, a high-level smart contract language with first-class functions, static typing, persistent storage, and a full compiler targeting AVM bytecode
Rust Kaleidoscope
  • LLVM tutorial chapters 1-7: lexing, parsing, IR generation, JIT, phi nodes

Experience
