Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRichard Diamond is a systems-focused software engineer and founder with 13 years of experience, currently a Member of Technical Staff at AMD and running multiple engineering ventures. He specializes in back/middle-end optimization, compiler toolchains, and low-level systems work—having ported LLVM/Clang and binutils to WebAssembly, built a wasm dylinker/loader in Rust, and added a PNaCl target to Rust during Google Summer of Code. His open-source contributions include adapting rust-openssl for Native Client environments and improving openssl-sys build workflows, reflecting deep build-system and cross-target expertise. Richard combines enterprise experience at AMD with hands-on consulting and product work for startups, and holds a B.A.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Kansas. Unusually for someone in optimization engineering, he has repeatedly shipped complete client-side C/C++ compilation toolchains and Unix-like syscall layers implemented in Rust.
