I'm KoiKoi4 a:
- self-taught programmer
- aspiring musician
Being self-taught has allowed me to create a solid understanding of many concepts, as I have more of a practical
knowledge and experience compared to my peers. Through using libraries, such as Flask, discord.py and tensorflow I have
developed a good-taste for OOP and structuring projects. I wouldn't say that any of my current projects are
representative of my current skill (I haven't had time to work on projects due to my academic work load). However, being
in A-Level (and taking CS), I will be working on an NEA shortly.
The NEA is a non-exam assessment, and it is akin to a final year project at university, (my NEA is with the AQA exam board). I have decided to make a compiler explorer, that converts a language (like C) into some sort of assembly and shows what parts of the code correspond to what assembly. Have I mentioned that I will be doing this from scratch! I will be writing up the lexer, parser with no external dependencies. There is also a student in my class who is creating a project to illustrate how a CPU executes code. I want to work with this student on making an assembly language that we can use across our projects (just for the sake of it really).
