I am a Research Programmer for the LLVM Team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This team researches novel compiler optimizations and analysis with a focus on Lifelong Code Optimization.

Professional

• LLVM Research Group
  I am currently employed with the LLVM Research Group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. LLVM is a compiler framework suitable for compile time, link time, and run time optimizations. It's also good for rapid development of compiler and optimization systems. The code is available under a BSD style license.
