Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Marks is a Research Assistant and software engineer with a decade of experience building high-performance scientific and game-oriented software, blending C, C#, Haskell, Java, and modern parallelization techniques. Based at New Mexico Tech, he contributes to open-source compiler work—adding Fortran-to-C++ translation and compiler improvements to the notable lfortran project—and applies those skills in research on parallel computing and toolchains. His internships at Los Alamos and NSTec exposed him to Kokkos/OpenMP/HIP, GPU-focused source-to-source translation, and practical scientific visualization and GUI development. Outside work he builds Unity game prototypes, pixel art, 3D models and tabletop RPG systems, demonstrating a rare mix of systems-level programming and artistic product design. He is pursuing an MS in Computer Science while maintaining a steady track record of shipping research-grade software and creative hobby projects.
