Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSaar Raz is a versatile software leader and full-stack engineer with 10 years of experience spanning research-driven R&D, team leadership, and CTO-level engineering roles across startups and the IDF. He blends deep computer science foundations (M.Sc. studies at Technion) with hands-on systems work—evidenced by contributions to the Clang/LLVM codebase implementing C++2a concept support, including AST, parsing, Sema changes and name mangling. Saar moves fluidly between product management and low-level compiler internals, shipping mobile apps early in his career and later leading R&D teams and a CTO lab. A relentless fast learner, he spends free time on side projects and creative pursuits like drawing and sculpting, bringing a designer’s eye to technical problem solving. Based in Israel, he’s comfortable translating research into production-grade software and mentoring teams through complex technical transitions.

****** OBSOLETE - CONCEPTS HAS BEEN MERGED INTO CLANG TRUNK AND DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES THERE ****** This fork of llvm-project contains my implementation of C++2a Concepts for the Clang compiler, and will be updated regularly with bug fixes until the whole feature is merged to trunk. Follow the instructions here https://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html to build, then use the flags "-std=c++2a -Xclang -fconcepts-ts" to enable concepts.
