ShompOS: Experimentation with Operating Systems Development

The operating system is the program running at the lowest level on a computer. Modern operating systems like Windows, MacOS, and Linux are complex, and it’s difficult to grasp how each component interacts with one another. This project seeks to build an operating system from the ground up, creating several core components from scratch. Over the course of two semesters, foundational functionality was identified and implemented in an accessible way. In its final product, users can interact with several of the features and explore how each one is concretely implemented.
