Marty Stumpf
Director at On Sabbatical
British Columbia, Canada
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMarty Stumpf is a director and software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building cryptography-aware compilers, language tooling, and high-assurance systems. She has driven performance and specification work at IOHK (Plutus) and as a founding compiler engineer at Lita, where her optimizations and custom crypto opcodes reduced proving time and improved codegen efficiency by over 10x. Equally comfortable with research and production, Marty blends a PhD-level economics/statistics background with practical language engineering in Haskell, Rust, and LLVM, and contributed core parser and tooling improvements to Cardano’s Plutus implementation. A natural technical leader, she organizes spec rewrites, improves team processes, and surfaces economic and security trade-offs when prioritizing features. Off the clock she values exploration and balance — her current sabbatical is focused on family and reflection after intensive startup and research cycles. Her combination of formal-methods interest (Coq/Agda), applied crypto work, and economist’s lens yields pragmatic, cost-aware technical decisions.
