Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Moss is a Staff Engineer based in Sweden with nine years of industrial experience and a PhD in Computer Science, specializing in compilers, language design, program transformation, cryptographic implementation, and automated testing. He has built novel compilers and tooling in MLIR/C++—working on type inference, optimization/transpilation, real-time scheduling and codegen for custom ISAs—and transitioned legacy compiler backends to LLVM. As a former lead at Netdata he combined hands-on C/Python/Bash work with team leadership, shipping performance/security fixes and fuzzing tools for a widely used monitoring agent. His academic background informs pragmatic engineering: he has applied symbolic program analysis to physical-simulation compilers and published work in program analysis and ML while teaching at the university level. Currently driving architecture at Photonic Inc., he balances deep systems-level implementation with higher-level language and verification concerns. An understated strength is his track record of turning research ideas into production-quality compiler components and robust testing infrastructure.
