#lookingforwork in software engineering! Currently I do:
- Compiled languages like C and C++
- #dotnet languages such as C# and F#
- #Java and #Javascript
- #database languages like #SQL and #Postgres
- Game #decompilation and #modding
I'm familiar with:
- #Agile, #Scrum, and their differences
- #Git and #Mercurial
- Safe programming practices
- Future-proofing
I'm highly flexible and learn quickly, so feel free to reach out to me!

[Paper of the day][#8] Debugger-oriented #decompilation. Decompilation is hard, but we can make it practical by skipping the hard constructions. In this paper, we show how we can construct a #decompiler extension on top of the #GDB #debugger and how to use it to skip #malware #unpacking and decompiling the extracted #payload.

I went down a deep rabbit hole (and I'm still falling). It started out with the idea of trying to compile #Uxntal into LLVM IR (and maybe WASM). Now I've jumped ships mid-course and changed to C as a target; I will probably, out of sheer perverseness, do Fortran as well. So this is decompilation of a stack-based assembly language into a non-stack-based higher-level language.

It's one of these "how hard can it be?" things.

The answer in short is, it's impossible; but there are degrees of approximation, and they are increasingly difficult. So it's a lot of fun.

Space Cadet Pinball, the game that everyone enjoyed on our old computer, here we have it running FullSpeed in the PPSSPP. In real hardware is still running super slow 🥲, plenty of optimizations are needed. I will do my best 🤙🧑‍💻
