Summary
🤩
RockstarNatsu Kagami is a PhD candidate based in Lausanne with 11 years of software engineering experience, blending academic rigor with deep open-source contributions. He has been a key back-end developer on high-profile projects like the Scala 3 compiler, tackling complex initialization and transformation phases and shipping fixes for tricky edge cases in language semantics. His work on oapi-codegen shows strong API design and code-generation skills, improving Go client/server scaffolding and template ergonomics. Comfortable in both research and production contexts, he excels at turning formal language and specification challenges into practical, well-tested engineering solutions. An underappreciated strength is his ability to navigate compiler internals and API tooling simultaneously, making him effective across systems-level and developer-facing code.
