I am a C++ developer by day, working on an old C/C++ trying to get it up to speed for my current employer. We work in real-time push-to-talk encrypted systems! In my spare time (every second I can get) I like writing Go. Biggest passion is compilers, and representing new constructs of computation (the act of executing rules given some assumptions and restrictions to achieve calculation on physical media.) Really into reading about "alternative" types of computers (neuromorphic, water-based, etc) I would LOVE a job as a compiler engineer, but alas, I have no PhD and I have not wanted to attempt tackling the libraries that exist (gcc, llvm, etc.) I'd love to make a new compiler backend though... if only I had the time and it paid-out.
