Software Engineer at Google
Summary
🤩
RockstarShane F. Carr is a Staff i18n software engineer with 13 years of experience focused on making internationalization robust and efficient, currently contributing to ICU4X and CLDR at the standards level. He combines deep backend engineering—zero-copy data structures, FFI bindings, and secure web app fixes—with standards work at Unicode and TC39 (ECMA-402), ensuring locale-aware behavior across platforms. Shane has a track record of shipping practical open-source projects (creator of octave-online.net) and improving legacy tools like Rietveld through careful SVN and patch handling. Known for obsessing over data correctness and performance in resource-constrained environments, he brings both systems-level rigor and standards diplomacy to cross-cutting i18n problems.
