What I do

I'm very passionate about technology and how it can be used to perform things that I like. My primary interest lies within systems engineering. As I grew up, I learned just how many unnecessary things are being done by software. Plus, I somehow grew into, at least in part, disliking most of what I came into contact with. I had many ideas on how to make things differently.

This way, I got deep into building my own systems, my own way. It started with games (missing freedom, actions I wanted to take), then morphed into: game engines (none really fit me; Unreal was too bloated, Unity used ... JavaScript); operating systems (kernel and userspace); programming languages (I love C vehemently, but ... it's not without its (many) issues); and most recently, it got into hardware itself, where I felt like the x86 is just a piece of convoluted, bloated trash.

I have an ongoing project to address each of the above. I've made quite some progress in some, less in others.

So far, I've collectively written ~137k SLOC in these projects. I only use SLOC to estimate project size, but it doesn't really mean anything more than that. Code quality is not measured in SLOC.

The most notable is my custom ISA + 32-bit CPU, and an operating system to go along with it:

MISC ISA + DLU CPU (custom ISA + CPU)

The Minimum Instruction Set Computer, running on a DANGLING Logic Unit CPU:

(5379 source lines of SystemVerilog)

DANGLING (kernel + userspace)

(7706 source lines of C)

Something more about me

I love stats. For example, seeing a graph of my daily/weekly/yearly productivity or my long-term music listening history feels exciting. It allows you to take a look at the depths of your life, potentially uncovering ways to improve and become more performant.

For coding tracking, I use WakaTime.

Highlights

Basic stats - global, all-time

Detailed stats

some views might be partly repetitive, but all provide a different level of detail
