Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRobert Marsh is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience specializing in compiler and static analysis engineering for security-focused tooling. He spent formative years at Semmle and GitHub improving CodeQL queries and data-flow analyses to automatically find C/C++ vulnerabilities, and recently applied query language and compiler expertise to distributed simulation at Sedaro. Now based in Reston, VA and currently at Code Metal, he blends deep systems-level C/C++ knowledge with practical security engineering for back-end code-scanning platforms. His contributions to the widely used CodeQL ecosystem include nuanced handling of language features like inout parameters and nil coalescing, showing attention to subtle semantics that surface real-world bugs. Trained at Carnegie Mellon, he brings both research rigor and production delivery to complex static analysis and compiler problems.
