Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoomy Korkut is a researcher in programming languages and formal verification with 12 years of experience, currently working on certified programming and security research at Bloomberg's CTO Office in New York. His work spans dependent types, proof automation, metaprogramming, and compilers, with hands-on contributions to the Idris dependently typed language (notably the Pruviloj tactic library and reflection enhancements). He has academic roots as a PhD student and course preceptor at Princeton, and practical systems experience from internships at AWS and Awake Security where he built lightweight verification tooling and a row-polymorphic query language. Joomy combines deep theorem-proving expertise with production-oriented engineering—writing tactics, refactoring core language features, and improving tooling and tests—bringing research ideas into usable software. Fluent across Haskell, Rust, and proof assistants, he often works at the intersection of verification and distributed or security-critical systems.

Contributions summary:Joomy primarily contributed to the Idris language's core functionality, specifically focusing on the Pruviloj tactic library and the prelude. Their work involved implementing new tactics like `discriminate` and `construct`, refactoring existing ones, and improving the pretty printing of language syntax. The user also added implementations for Quotable, Bool, Maybe, and Either to enhance the reflection capabilities of the language. Furthermore, the user updated the documentation and test files for the Pruviloj test suite.
