Lucas Ste is a runtime and compiler engineer with 8 years of experience building LLVM backends, virtual machines, and compiler front-ends, currently focused on runtime development at Anza Technology. He contributed to high-profile open-source projects including Solana, where he moved core account-loading functionality into the runtime and improved bank testing, and Solang, where he implemented semantic checks and compiler tests for Solidity on multiple chains. Comfortable across low-level systems and developer tooling, he has shipped parser, semantic analysis, codegen, and optimization passes and previously implemented IDE autocomplete and automation platform features during internships at Google and Uber. A background in computer vision and robotics from ITAndroids and research at CNPq gives him an unusual blend of compiler-level systems thinking and practical ML/robotics experience.

Solidity Compiler for Solana, Polkadot and Stellar
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Contributions:1549 reviews, 106 commits, 335 PRs in 1 year 6 months
Contributions summary:Lucas primarily worked on the implementation and testing of the Solidity compiler for Solana, Polkadot, and Stellar. Their contributions included writing tests to detect unused variables and implementing checks for built-in function calls. The user's work directly involved modifying the compiler's core functionality and adding new test cases, ensuring code correctness. They also focused on implementing semantic analysis rules, which ensures the solidity code is well structured.
Web-Scale Blockchain for fast, secure, scalable, decentralized apps and marketplaces.
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Contributions:31 reviews, 24 PRs, 14 pushes in 8 months
Contributions summary:Lucas primarily contributed to the backend of the Solana blockchain project. They updated the Solang Solidity compiler, integrating a new version into the build process. Additionally, they moved core functionality, specifically `load_accounts` and `RewardInterval`, to the runtime environment and refactored relevant modules. Finally, the user made significant changes to tests, refactoring and incorporating `BankForks` for improved testing of the Solana bank functionalities.
