About

I am highly interested in various fields in computer science, particularly in theoretical computer science (theory B). I am methodically experienced in developing and maintaining client/server apps and websites. I am also experienced in and currently exploring more about data mining, manipulation and visualization.

Programming Language Design and Implementation

Supervised by Professor Lionel Parreaux, I implemented the language feature type classes in MLscript, an object-oriented and functional programming language founded and led by Professor Lionel Parreaux. In particular, I implemented:

  • Functions with multiple parameter lists.
  • Module methods, a type of methods (functions) or methods that require extra handling by compiler on call site.
  • Type classes, including contextual parameters and given instances.

A new pass was being added to the compiler to effectively support the new features. Now, I am continuing working on the new pass to support other features that requires call-site handling.
