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.
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)

Terminal Insanity: RackJacker (PC game)
(~2000 source lines of C++ (mediated via Unreal Engine at the time, so cannot estimate accurately))

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.
