Project History
Preemptive, Multi-Threaded Kernel for 8086
It was an exciting project at the time because I had to think of new ways how to debug, since concurrent applications are more difficult to analyze. It was an individual project, so I had to learn and implement all of the necessary concepts by myself.
MicroJava Parser
It contains a simple lexer for the language, as well as a fully developed grammar with corresponding code actions.
It was a challenge to think of all the different edge cases and put myself in the position of a language designer. It made me think of how we take our compilers for granted when there's probably exponentially more work to them than what I've done here.
