Currently Doing

I am putting the finishing touches on Muse, a simple front-end for Music.app on iOS that selects my daily playlists in a few different categories. It originated in an idea I had a few years back, and existed in a functionaly but ugly form the entire time. Once I am done putting some polish on the experience, rewriting some last aspects of the internals, and making a UI that isn't terribad, I think it will be done. At least, until Apple decides to break something in the MediaPlayer framework.

Round Robin is a new app I am working on that is slightly based on the old timer app 30/30. It is multi-layered and designed specifically around how I like to juggle my different projects without ignoring any one of them. The app exists in a mostly functional state, but is in need of a complete rewrite to get into a position where I would want to let others see it. In particular, I am looking forward to getting this running on watchOS to free up my phone for other uses while using it.

School this quarter is designing systems-on-a-chip using SystemVerilog and testing it on real hardware using an FPGA board. The chip will be programmed against using RISC-V Assembly and C. Hopefully more C than Assembly...
