About me
Overview
I’m a final year undergraduate at Imperial College London, studying computer science. I have a strong interest in functional programming, Haskell in particular. My main focus is using advanced type system features to derive programs from statically available information. In my spare time, I enjoy playing with interactive theorem provers, most notably Coq.
Talks/publications

Projects
Some of my more interesting projects
generic-lens (2017)
A Haskell library for deriving lenses and prisms using GHC8’s Generic
machinery.
PureScript safe printf (2017)
A type-safe printf
interface for PureScript showcasing a type-level parser
that uses my ConsSymbol
class solved by the compiler.
Type-level register machine (2016)
(github)
A type-level register machine, as a proof of concept for showing that Haskell’s type system is indeed Turing complete.
Type-level regex (2016)
(github)
Type-level implementation of a regular expression to nondeterministic finite automaton compiler, and matcher.
Haskell compiler (2015)
I wrote a compiler for a subset of Haskell (notably, no type classes), with some extensions (mixfix syntax by dynamically generating context-free grammars, like in Agda).
Doom on Raspberry Pi (2015)
(github)
Doom-like game engine running on a 1st generation Raspberry Pi, written in 100% pure ARM assembly, with no operating system. Written with a group of 4, in about 3 weeks.
