Profile: https://flows.cv/kazsadeghi

Compilers enthusiast.  
I enjoy digging deep into hardware to expose its power through useful abstractions.
Compiler research is great because we usually do one of two things: save time, or make impossible things possible.

Research and Work Experience:
- Cerebras
- Qualcomm AI Research
- Cruise

Compiler and tools projects:
- Cornerstone: a modular compiler framework with LLVM IR codegen.
- Kedit: an editor built from scratch using openGL and GLFW.

OpenGL Graphics projects:
- Animation, rigging, and skinning software
- Craftmine, a minecraft clone with shadows and multithreaded infinite terrain generation

Godot projects:
- Please Chai Again (with Will Graves): a roguelike with boss fights and beautiful hand-drawn graphics
