Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Protasov is a senior software engineer based in Medellín with a lifelong passion for programming language design and toolchains, blending 34 years of practical coding experience with formal computer science foundations. He has shipped a self-funded language, MANOOL, implemented in modern C++, and has a rare mix of compiler, tooling, and systems experience from roles at Sun and Intel to university teaching. His background spans building developer-facing products (visual programming tools like Scenario/A-Flow), leading IT infrastructure teams, and deep work on compiler front-ends and middle-ends. Colleagues know him as a hands-on implementer who also thinks like a language theorist—aptly summarized by his Github quip, "I am a Turing-complete mammal."
