Solving problems close to the metal.
I'm an Electrical & Computer Engineering student at UCT, mostly interested in the parts of computing that sit close to the hardware: operating systems, processors, embedded systems, GPU programming, FPGAs. Outside coursework I've been writing Rust professionally, captaining a HPC team at the International Supercomputing Conference, and maintain Talc, a memory allocator with over a million downloads. From January I'll be joining Peralex Electronics as a low-level software engineer
Some software and technology I've learnt and used substantially.
Other software, technology, and platforms that keeps me productive.
When I'm relaxing, you'll usually find me playing piano, hiking mountains, or with a good indie game.
