Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNick Rioux is a Senior Compiler Engineer based in Boston with 11 years of experience bridging research-grade language design and production-quality tooling. After a PhD at the University of Pennsylvania where he built Haskell prototypes for deterministic parallel streaming languages and formalized type systems and verification techniques, he now applies that foundation to compiler engineering at MathWorks. His background spans theorem-proving implementations in OCaml, designing deterministic parallelism, and practical software engineering from front-end React work at Facebook to backend and test automation in Elixir libraries. An active open-source contributor, he improves API functionality and test coverage (notably contributing a Tokens API and robust test refactors to an Elixir Stripe library). Comfortable moving between formal methods and hands-on product code, he brings a rare mix of theoretical rigor and pragmatic engineering to complex compiler and language problems.
