Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFred Morcos is a senior software engineer with 15 years of experience building and modernizing systems from LLVM-based interpreters to high-performance RF tooling. He has driven production features and refactors at PowerDNS and Dovecot, and implemented sandboxed LLVM runtimes and cross-language interoperability at Oracle’s GraalVM project. His background spans systems programming, software verification, on-chip debug for RF transceivers, and model-checking-based automation for RF frontends, combining deep low-level expertise with pragmatic engineering. An active maintainer and contributor to C-based VMs and widely used infrastructure projects, he pairs performance-minded design with careful documentation and build/CI modernization. Based in Vienna, he’s equally at home prototyping language frontends and squeezing days-long analyses into minutes via clever caching and SMT techniques.
