Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNick Roberts is a software engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building and refining systems-level software and course infrastructure. A Carnegie Mellon CS graduate, he has led teaching teams and developed EC2-backed auto-scaling autograder infrastructure and modern compiler coursework while serving as head TA for object-oriented design. His production and internship experience includes building a microservice for latency tracking and contributing to Facebook’s Sigma spam-detection platform. Nick is also an active contributor to the OCaml compiler, performing deep refactors across the compiler, runtime, and bytecode generation—work that touches one of the core, widely used functional-language toolchains. He combines practical engineering at scale with a strong interest in language implementation and education.
