Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDevin Ragotzy is a backend compiler engineer with eight years of systems and compiler experience, currently working on compiler backend development at NVIDIA. He brings deep Rust expertise from sustained open-source contributions—improving the Rust compiler and Clippy lints, and enhancing Matrix ecosystem libraries like matrix-rust-sdk and ruma. Twice a summer intern at Texas Instruments, Devin added ARM backend features and DSP optimizations to LLVM, demonstrating practical low-level performance work. He combines production-grade compiler engineering with protocol-level understanding from Matrix contributions, and has a track record of improving tooling, error handling, and test coverage. Based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, he pairs academic grounding from Western Michigan University with hands-on experience shipping compiler features in both industry and prominent open-source projects.
