Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKevin Neal is a senior software developer with over 7 years of professional experience and a long history at SAS working deep in clang/LLVM and legacy compiler toolchains. He specializes in floating-point semantics and IBM System/Z (z/OS) backends, including a major port of a 31-bit MVS JIT to 64-bit using modern z/OS instructions. Kevin blends systems-level compiler engineering with a security-conscious mindset forged early in his career building high-throughput, AFS-authenticated web services and custom Apache extensions. He remains one of the few engineers maintaining a lineage of compiler technology once known as Lattice C, pairing institutional product knowledge with hands-on implementation. Based in Raleigh, NC, he brings pragmatic problem solving across long-lived codebases and a knack for making performance-compatible fixes that preserve precise exception semantics.
