Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKatherine Rasmussen is a Computer Systems Engineer with a decade of experience applying her linguistics background to programming language design, grammar work, and compiler AST development. Based in Eugene, Oregon, she contributes to LLVM Flang and is helping build a parallel runtime interface for Coarray Fortran as part of Berkeley Lab’s CLaSS group. Her work spans Fortran and C/C++, OpenCoarrays integration, and parser testing—bringing both language-theory rigor and practical systems engineering to scientific computing toolchains. Katherine’s unusual path from teaching and applied linguistics to low-level compiler and runtime development gives her a strong aptitude for specification-driven testing and clear, maintainable language artifacts.
