Hello, my name is Simarpreet Singh, and I'm a student software developer currently studying at Queen Mary's Grammar School in Walsall. I've been fascinated by computers from a young age and enjoy learning how they work, automating repetitive tasks, and building software that solves real-world problems. My interests include programming languages, artificial intelligence, Linux, self-hosting, and open-source.
Outside of programming, I'm a Grade 5 pianist, Grade 6 clarinetist, and composer - my "Waltzes of the Seasons" is an original set for piano. I also placed first nationally in a Mandarin competition and was invited to speak with UK-China relations officials as a result.
Skills
I work primarily with the following technologies:
Python - General software development, automation, ML/AI, and compiler development.
HTML & CSS - Frontend web development and responsive websites.
Rust - Systems programming and performance-focused applications.
x86-64 NASM - Low-level systems programming, bootloaders, and kernels.
Java - Currently learning.
Projects
Here are some of my highlighted projects that I have worked on over the years:
TeapotOS
An OS designed for compatibility, aiming to support Windows, Linux, and even MacOS binaries - currently in development.
Alongside my personal projects, I run a freelance web design service for small local businesses across the West Midlands, handling everything from initial client scoping to deployment.
Alisha's Beauty Salon
Built an informational site for a hair salon based in Walsall, including modern CSS styling and responsive design.
I've also built internal tools to support this work, including a demo site generator that lets me quickly produce working previews for prospective clients before they commit.
