Philippe Wang is a computer science R&D engineer and OCaml specialist with over 20 years of hands-on experience in functional programming and more than a decade of professional practice across academia and industry. He holds a PhD from Université Pierre et Marie Curie and has built compiler backends, multicore OCaml research, and production systems for projects like Tezos and an OCaml-based social platform. As founder of Lamini Labs he focuses on custom data conversion, extraction and indexing, combining deep language and systems expertise with practical PostgreSQL and Linux/macOS operations. Philippe is equally comfortable in low-level languages and scripting (C, Bash, Lisp, JS) and in managing remote servers and business operations, reflecting a rare blend of technical depth and entrepreneurial grit. He has a track record of mentoring developers, maintaining open-source tooling (Ocsigen), and shipping robust engineering solutions in constrained or safety-critical contexts. Now based in Vancouver, he brings an analytical, research-driven approach to applied semantics and real-world engineering problems.
