Projects

Research project with Dr. Mohammad Noureddine — designing a microkernel OS from scratch to evaluate microkernel viability on modern hardware, with emphasis on security and IPC.

• Migrated build system from Make to Meson, improving maintainability and iteration speed
• Designed and implemented the process control block (PCB), weighing trade-offs in scheduling, fault handling, and capability management
• Designed and implemented the bootstrapping ram filesystem
• Implemented kernel/user space separation in virtual memory
• Implemented the ELF loader and the designed

Full-stack platform for managing live puzzle hunt events, built with a four-person team for a real client.

• Developed features using MySQL, a Node.js REST API, and Svelte
• Designed responsive interfaces for puzzle navigation, team tracking, and live event interaction
• Coordinated with client stakeholders to refine requirements and adapt implementations based on feedback
• Followed an agile workflow with 1-week sprints, GitHub Issues for task tracking, and weekly sprint review and planning meetings

Implemented a custom network driver and UDP network stack for the Xv6 OS, enabling inter-machine packet transmission.

• Built Ethernet, ARP, and UDP support with full packet construction and parsing
• Implemented a socket API (socket, bind, recvfrom, sendto) modeled after Linux sockets, including the underlying system calls
• Debugged protocol interactions in QEMU using Wireshark
