Greater Manchester, UK · open to opportunities
Systems developer and mathematician. I'm building planckOS, a from-scratch x86_64 operating system, and Plasma, the quantum computing language and deterministic simulator that runs inside it. I start Mathematics at university in 2027.
Most of my work sits low in the stack: bare-metal firmware, custom bootloaders, kernels, fixed-point arithmetic, and deterministic simulation. I try to publish what I learn on GitHub.

Things I'm building because I want to understand the bottom of the stack, starting with Plasma, the quantum language, and the operating system that ships it.
A high-level quantum computing language and deterministic statevector simulator, designed for planckOS. Line-based assembly-like syntax, reproducible output per seed, and backends from a reference interpreter to Clifford stabilizer, MPS and a PTX-only CUDA path.
2026A Rust-based quantum simulation OS being built entirely from scratch: custom MBR and loader, 64-bit kernel, FAT32 driver, SMP and a REPL shell, with Plasma shipped on every release.
2026Bare-metal scientific calculator firmware for the ARM Cortex-M3 in Rust #![no_std], with no OS, no allocator and no standard library, plus a deterministic Q31.32 fixed-point math engine.
2025A from-scratch mathematical platform for symbolic algebra, exact calculus and N-dimensional graphing, written in zero-dependency Rust. A FOSS alternative to Mathematica, WIP.
2026A terminal-based LaTeX editor with Micro-like editing, asynchronous pdflatex compilation, Zathura preview and syntax highlighting.
2026A statistical anti-cheat for Minecraft using the G-test of goodness-of-fit to catch what thresholds miss, with self vs world baselines, ping-bucketed and self-calibrating.
2026Led development of a cross-platform Minecraft server supporting Java, Bedrock and console editions, with backend systems, infrastructure and moderation in production.
2025Nothing here yet.
Themes, ports and public tooling I keep on GitHub. Small projects I'm building to make the systems I use every day feel like mine.
Supervised research under the University of Manchester's Manchester Access Programme. It asks how publicly accessible large language models can be exploited for cybercrime such as phishing, malware development and social engineering, and whether the same models are becoming the most effective defensive tool we have, from threat detection to automated vulnerability assessment.
