Distributed Ledger

Decentralized systems where trust is computed, not assumed. Examining consensus mechanisms, Merkle trees, and the cryptographic primitives that secure distributed state. Each block is cryptographically linked to its predecessor, forming an immutable chain. The Merkle root ensures data integrity across all transactions within a single block.

Compiler Design

The art of translating human intent into machine execution. Lexical analysis, parsing, AST transformation, and code generation form the pipeline that bridges abstraction and silicon.

Graphics Pipelines

SIGNAL — GPU WAVEFORM

From vertices to pixels, the graphics pipeline transforms mathematical abstractions into visual reality. Shaders, rasterization, and GPU compute redefine what screens can display.

Interface layers

Hardware Abstraction

The invisible translators between software intent and hardware capability. HALs, device drivers, and firmware form the contract that makes portable computing possible.

L4

APPLICATION

v

User-facing software, APIs, and runtime environments. The visible surface of the computing stack.

HTTP servers, CLI tools, GUI apps, WASM modules
L3

OS / RUNTIME

v

Operating system services, syscalls, and language runtimes managing execution flow.

Process scheduling, memory management, file systems
L2

HAL INTERFACE

v

The contract layer translating software intentions into hardware-specific commands.

MMIO registers, DMA controllers, interrupt handlers
L1

DRIVERS

v

Device-specific modules communicating directly with individual hardware peripherals.

GPU drivers, NIC firmware, storage controllers
L0

SILICON

v

Raw transistors, logic gates, and physical circuits. Where computation meets physics.

FinFET transistors, copper interconnects, photolithography
