Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYuxuan Shui is a software engineer with 14 years of systems-level experience, currently at CodeWeavers in London after six years as a research engineer at Hadean. He has a strong track record contributing to prominent open-source projects—LLVM-based LDC, async-std, ccls/cquery language servers, OpenZFS and i3—where his focus on backend correctness, platform compatibility and resource-safety repeatedly fixed subtle bugs and kernel/ABI mismatches. Comfortable in C, C++ and Rust ecosystems, he’s tackled error-handling chains, pointer arithmetic optimizations, file-descriptor ownership and cross-platform build issues, often improving stability in large codebases. A high-achieving academic background (Stony Brook MS with a 3.98 and a BS from Fudan) complements his practical expertise, and his GitHub humor hints at a pragmatic, detail-oriented approach to engineering.

A tiling window manager for X11
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:3 PRs, 27 comments, 2 issues in 4 years 7 months
Contributions summary:Yuxuan primarily contributed to improving the i3 window manager's core functionality by addressing issues related to window depth and layout saving/loading. Their work involved modifying the container structure and related functions, specifically `con_new_skeleton` and `con_new`, to handle 32-bit depth windows correctly. They also refactored code related to output containment and motif hints to improve stability. Additionally, they made improvements to the i3bar component.

The LLVM-based D Compiler.
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:60 commits, 8 comments, 2 issues in 1 year 10 months
Contributions summary:Yuxuan primarily contributed to bug fixes and platform compatibility within the LDC D Compiler project. Their work involved addressing issues related to error messages for "in" expressions, resolving a missing bypassed chain in error handling, and fixing pointer arithmetic optimizations. Additionally, the user added definitions for musl libc in several core system and standard library files to enhance compatibility with the musl C standard library. They also addressed an issue with a backtrace.
