I was trying to get schbench to work on RedoxOS, but unfortunately it uses many linux specific features (eg futex), so I thought why not keep it in line with Redox and write it in Rust!!

Would really like some feadback from experienced devs here on what I did good and what could have been improved!

From the inside, is Oxide a place where a fresh grad can actually be useful? Or is the "complexity floor" of hardware/software co-design so high that you really just need a few decades of experience to be effective? I'd love a reality check on whether I should keep Oxide as a long-term 10-year goal or if there’s a path for people starting out.

I am an undergraduate right now and looking at the people working there, it doesn't seem likely they would hire a fresh grad, I think I have found the yardstick I am going to measure myself by going forward, "Am I skilled enough that I could work at Oxide?". Hope more companies follow suit in putting the people forward!!

Radicle is the most exciting out of these, imo!

Currently writing about the xv6-riscv OS! https://himwant.org/series/xv6/

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes (Global)

Technologies: Rust (Compiler/Infra), C (Systems/Kernels), NixOS/Guix, RISC-V Assembly, Python (ML Infra), Burn.

I am a CS undergrad at JNU (2027) focused on the intersection of Systems Programming and ML Infrastructure. I prefer working at the lower levels of the stack where memory efficiency and reproducibility are the primary constraints.

Recent Work:

    Rust Compiler (rustc) Contributor: Contributed to T-bootstrap regarding thin-rlibs and standalone metadata resolution. Identified and resolved a dependency resolution failure in the run-make test infrastructure, unblocking dogfooding efforts for -Zno-embed-metadata.

    ML Infrastructure: Implemented foundational mathematical operators (GEMM, Softmax) for the Burn deep learning library in pure Rust.

    Kernel Internals: Published technical analysis of xv6-RISCV internals, recent work on synchronization primitives and trap handling. Blog: https://himwant.org/series/xv6/

    Declarative Systems: Use Guix/Nix to maintain hermetic, FHS-emulated build environments for complex toolchain development.
