Interests
I'm interested in the design and implementation of programming languages.
I'm currently a Staff Software Developer at IBM, Canada, working on the Clang/LLVM PowerPC backend.
For my PhD, I worked on simple Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation techniques and optimizations
to efficiently implement dynamic languages. I implemented these techniques
and optimizations in a JIT compiler for the Scheme programming language called LC.
I'm also interested in real time rendering techniques. I built several tools to explore this topic.
Current projects:
- LC: JIT compiler for Scheme targeting x86-64 platforms
- Risky: A prototype RISC-V emulator
- Gamedev: My game development experiments
- Others
