Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBryan Croteau is an entrepreneur and software engineer based in the Greater Seattle Area with a focus on programming language design, compiler construction, and full-stack tooling across Windows and Linux. He has built hosted-language compilers and interpreters at Amazon, led language work at Microsoft’s PowerApps team (helping open-source Power Fx and adding features like string interpolation and JSON/dynamic types), and founded Tsikhe to create ShardScript, a novel safe-to-execute web-backend language that replaces JSON. Comfortable in dozens of languages, he pairs hands-on implementation (WPF/C# tooling for game studios and backend compilers in Scala) with mentoring and shipping robust features in large codebases. His open-source contributions include bug fixes and new interpreter functions to Microsoft’s Power-Fx low-code language, showing a blend of pragmatic engineering and language research. Notably, he prioritizes long-term roles over contract work and spends most of his current time advancing language design rather than short-term engagements.
