Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmos Robinson is a Principal Software Engineer with 16 years of experience bridging academic rigor and production systems, currently working at Microsoft after roles in silicon design, autonomy, and postdoctoral research. He holds a PhD in Computer Science and focuses on programming languages, formal methods, and real-time/critical systems, bringing deep expertise in compiler internals and correctness. A long-time contributor to the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, he has diagnosed and fixed non-termination and parallel-array bugs in core compiler components, reflecting a rare mix of theory and low-level implementation skill. Amos pairs systems-level engineering at companies like AMD and Ghost Autonomy with research-grade thinking from ANU, and outside engineering he has an uncommon interest in tuned percussion.
