Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Matichuk is a research engineer based in Portland with 11 years of experience bridging formal verification research and practical software engineering. He holds a PhD in Computer Science and has contributed to high-assurance projects such as seL4 confidentiality proofs and multi-architecture verification at CSIRO/Data61 and NICTA, now applying that expertise at Galois. Daniel has hands-on experience improving verification-aware languages—most notably contributing backend work to the Dafny project at Microsoft, including parser and module-export enhancements that improved tooling and VS integration. Comfortable moving between interactive theorem provers and production toolchains, he combines deep formal methods know-how with pragmatic engineering to deliver auditable, verifiable systems. An understated strength is his ability to translate rigorous proofs into usable language features and developer tooling.
