Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlfie Richards is a compiler-focused software engineer at Arm with a strong foundation in both computer science and mathematics from an MComp at the University of Bath. Over three roles at Arm since 2023 he’s concentrated on GNU toolchain work (primarily GCC), bringing practical compiler development experience alongside earlier internship work at Wolfram. He blends a taste for formal proofs, abstract algebra, and functional programming with hands-on engineering, which informs his approach to correctness and optimization. While tutoring and running the department’s Technical Labs, he honed his ability to explain complex CS and math concepts to students and peers. Early startup and product experience at Racketware taught him customer-facing product development and interdisciplinary collaboration. Based in Cambridge, he pairs rigorous academic instincts with pragmatic toolchain delivery.
