Hello and welcome to my personal home page. My name is Rudi Horn and I am currently working on the visor GraalOS at Oracle Labs.

I previously graduate Doctoral Training in Pervasive Parallelism at the University of Edinburgh. There I am currently funded by the Skye project, working on programming languages for the curation of scientific databases.

From an early age I have been fascinated by the possibilities of technology and in particular that of computers. I enjoy figuring out the problem of how computers work and function, all the way from basic transistors through microcontrollers, operating systems and higher level networking. These days my interests also lie in the field of programming language research and specifically the focus of making things easier through the help of programming languages, including the fields of internet of things / embedded devices, as well as databases.

Over the years I have done a lot of programming especially in C# and C(++) as well as some microcontroller programming mainly using Microchip’s PIC line and with it small amounts of electronics.
