Aiden Isik's Site - Home


About me

I'm Aiden, a 20 year old Scot and 3rd year Computer Science student, who is passionate about close-to-the-metal software development, reverse engineering, and software freedom. I can be found on both Codeberg and GitHub.

I have experience in a variety of programming languages, including:

I also have experience in a variety of other technologies:

Currently, I mainly work on adding hardware support to the Linux kernel for the Samsung Exynos5515 SoC, along with the smartwatches which use it, as the main part of getting a GNU/Linux distribution designed for smartwatches called AsteroidOS working on Exynos5515-based smartwatches. I have had a few patchsets accepted so far, with the first changes on track to become part of Linux v7.4.

I have also previously been involved in building both GCC-based (alone) and LLVM-based (in a team) homebrew toolchains for the Xbox 360, which involved the reverse engineering of specific components of the executable file format in order to build software capable of recreating it, along with reverse engineering of generated code so I could modify the compiler to be able to call system functions with the correct ABI.

These projects are detailed on the projects page.

The FLOSS projects I have contributed to are as follows:
