Artifacts are tangible pieces of evidence demonstrating the skills and knowledge I’ve acquired from various learning experiences. Links labeled “currently unavailable” indicate either that I haven’t gotten around to publishing it or that the project contains exam/coursework which must remain private for furture iterations of the course. However, if you email me, I’ll try to expedite it.

Buddy Allocator in Rust
Philipp Oppermann's blog
During winter break between my semesters, I was able to start working on a project I had always wanted to do: write an OS in Rust. I followed the incredibly well put together online textbook by Philipp Oppermann and used the OS dev wiki for reference and further reading. This project allowed me to continue to practice Rust, as it’s a language I enjoy but don’t often have the chance to use during work or classes.
The textbook details implementations for three allocators: Bump, Linked List and Fixed-size block. To demonstrate my understanding of the topics discussed in the book, I implemented an additional allocator using the buddy memory allocation technique.
