Hi! I'm Isaac, a student based in the UK who is interested in operating systems, firmware, and networking.
My main project at the moment is my operating system, Poplar, which is an attempt at exploring modern OS design ideas.
I also maintain a number of OS-related libraries, both as part of Poplar and under the rust-osdev umbrella:
acpi, aml, and rsdp are crates for parsing and interacting with the ACPI tables.
mer is an efficient, zero-copy ELF parser.
pci_types is a crate that provides types and lots of shareable code for interacting with PCI devices.
multiboot2-elf64 is a crate for parsing the Multiboot headers passed to the kernel from many bootloaders, including GRUB.
I also maintain some other projects, such as a note-taking web application called Commonplace that I built for medical school.
Sponsoring me allows me to commit time to maintaining these projects, as well as engage with the community and provide mentorship to people trying to break into OSDev.
Full disclosure: I am a full-time medical student at university, which obviously takes up a lot of time and mental bandwidth, and necessarily comes before my commitments here. Sponsorships would help me direct more of my free time towards the work I enjoy doing in this space (as it would allow me to replace hours in my part-time work).
