I write open source software for solving hardware problems and for education. I am motivated by making low-level hardware programming more accessible and tackling the hardest problems in the aerospace industry with software simulations.

I regularly contribute to the Gonum numerical package for the Go programming language. My contributions to this package have found their way into programs I write for generating models for 3D printing and for multi-physics simulations of atmospheric+orbital vehicles.

I am also active on the TinyGo compiler project where I usually help out with the development of Raspberry Pi's RP2040 MCU target. I have implemented SPI, I2C, PWM, deep sleep among other functions for said target.

I've also published a repo to teach Go by fixing small bite-sized broken programs.

I am pushing the limits of what Go can be used for in the mechanical/electronic engineering field:

  • soypat/sdf 3D model generation with SDF functions
  • soypat/mu8 Genetic algorithm library well suited for physics simulations
  • soypat/go-canard libcanard port for Go for use in high-integrity real-time embedded systems.
  • soypat/lap Tiny linear algebra package for constrained systems
  • soypat/go-maquina Simple finite-state-machine for real-time systems
  • soypat/ahrs Attitude estimation library for powered flight vehicles.
  • chewxy/math32 Maintainer of math32 repo for constrained targets or use with graphics libraries.
  • soypat/manigold 3D tetrahedral mesh generation WIP
  • soypat/go-fem Comprehensive finite element analysis package WIP

And a few more :)

I am at your service- You get:

  • the ability to tell me to focus my efforts on a particular thing on my plate (for example, a specific issue request, a certain library feature, work on a proposal, etc. It will receive at least one day's worth of my programming efforts, if not more)
