Contributed to the jasmin-lang/jasmin repository by developing and refining core compiler features, focusing on reliability, maintainability, and formal correctness. Work included enhancing ARM assembly support, improving error and exception handling in command-line tools, and expanding LaTeX output robustness. Applied OCaml and Coq to implement formal verification for intermediate representations and optimize SLH lowering with proof engineering. Refactored loop counter logic and type-checking paths to strengthen code quality and type safety. Emphasized modular design and disciplined change management, delivering well-scoped commits that improved test coverage, reduced regression risk, and enabled safer future optimizations in compiler design and functional programming.
April 2026 (2026-04) monthly summary for jasmin repo: Implemented a comprehensive Compiler Loop Counter Handling Refactor by replacing the Loop module to centralize and improve loop-counter logic across the compiler. This refactor enhances structure, maintainability, and paves the way for future optimizations in code generation and loop handling. Associated commit: c8bdde6aa7ce7136b06058678b335de8cf001585 (message: 'replace Loop module').

August 2025: Delivered ARM M4 instruction coverage enhancement for jasmin (jasmin-lang/jasmin) by expanding pattern matching to explicitly cover all supported ARM M4 instructions, and added previously unhandled instructions to the exhaustive check. This improvement strengthens compiler robustness and reduces the risk of unrecognised instruction handling on ARM targets, contributing to a more reliable embedded toolchain and easier future maintenance.

Monthly work summary for 2024-12 focused on stabilizing the jasmin toolchain through comprehensive error handling enhancements across the compilation tools. These changes reduce downstream failures, improve user messaging, and enable smoother automation in CI pipelines. Specifically, we implemented a unified error flow by catching exceptions in jasmin-ct and jasmin2ec and re-raising them as HiError, and we added granular exception handling in jasmin2tex to cover annotation, typing, and parsing errors. These improvements align with business goals of reliability, developer productivity, and better user experience.

November 2024 focused on improving user control over warning output and correcting ARMv7 far global address loading in jasmin. Delivered a cross-tool --warn option across jasmin-ct, jasmin2tex, and jasmin2ec to adjust verbosity during compilation and conversion, enhancing UX and enabling tighter log management. Implemented an ARMv7 far-global load fix by splitting ADR into MOVW/MOVT to correctly load very large addresses, with an accompanying test case to validate the behavior. These changes improve build reliability, reduce noise for users, and strengthen the code generation accuracy on ARM targets.
