Things built, mostly in C and Python, mostly at night.
The index
A rewrite of the memory manager in MIT’s teaching kernel, chasing better page-allocation behaviour under pressure.
archivedSource →A configurable cache model for measuring how associativity and replacement policy change the miss rate on real traces.
archivedSource →A Unix shell written from scratch: job control, pipes, redirection, and all the signal handling nobody warns you about.
archivedSource →A performance study across GPU architectures, benchmarking the same kernels to see where the generational claims hold up.
archivedSource →Home automation that learns the household’s patterns instead of waiting to be told, built on cheap sensors and a lot of logging.

Writing a Shell That Handles Signals
bird_shell: pipes, redirection, job control, and the part of POSIX nobody warns you about.

Benchmarking GPU Generations
Running the same kernels across architectures to see which generational claims survive contact with a workload.
