STUDENT SOFTWARE DEVELOPER
I build software across systems programming, programming languages, web development, Linux, and open source.
ABOUT ME
I'm a student software developer based in Walsall, UK, with a particular interest in understanding how software works at a fundamental level.
I enjoy building things rather than simply using them. My projects range from programming languages and operating-system development to networking, web development, artificial intelligence, and open-source software.
I'm constantly learning, experimenting with new technologies, and turning ideas into working software.
I designed TeapotLang from the lexer and parser upwards, keeping the intermediate representation understandable as the language evolved.
Challenge: make each compiler stage easy to inspect while the language was still changing.

FOSSil Chat gave me a practical way to explore async Rust, TCP communication, serialization, and the trade-offs of building open-source software with another developer.
Trade-off: keep the protocol small and readable before adding convenience features.
Read the case study ↗TECHNOLOGIES
Software development, automation, AI/ML, and compiler development.
Systems programming, networking, and performance-focused applications.
HTML, CSS, responsive design, and deployment.
Low-level programming, bootloaders, kernels, and computer architecture.
Currently learning object-oriented programming and the Java ecosystem.
SELECTED WORK
A selection of projects exploring different areas of software development.
Live demos are simplified simulations. They may be incomplete and do not implement every feature from the projects. For the full functionality, architecture, and current implementation, the source code is the best reference.
An experimental operating system exploring compatibility and low-level system design, with the long-term goal of supporting software from multiple platforms.
Next: memory management, filesystems, and executable loading.
Kernel started successfully!
Welcome to TeapotOS!
TeapotOS> _
A memory-efficiency-oriented programming language and compiler project, developed from the lexer and parser upwards.
Next: deepen semantic analysis, then move toward code generation.
Compile to inspect lexer output.
Compile to inspect parser output.
A privacy-focused chat platform built with a friend, exploring networking, asynchronous Rust, and open-source software development - developed with TsarGalxyGaming (Stefan Mitchell) on Codeberg.
Next: stronger end-to-end encryption, Markdown, and federated servers.

FREELANCE DEVELOPMENT
Alongside my personal projects, I build websites for small local businesses across the West Midlands.
An informational website for a local hair salon, designed to present the business clearly and work across desktop and mobile devices.
Impact snapshot: delivered the salon's first website in 2 weeks, giving customers a mobile-friendly way to see services and get in touch.

Started planning and prototyping FOSSil Chat.
Created the initial specification for the Teapot programming language.
Began exploring systems programming and Rust.
Began implementing the first components of the Teapot compiler.
Published early versions of FOSSil Chat and gathered feedback.
Began building websites for local businesses in the West Midlands.
Started developing TeapotOS and exploring operating system development.
