Hi, I'm Izaak.
Software engineer in Los Angeles.
I am a software engineer with a focus on functional, stable systems, helping to solve exciting problems in research and industry. I have built tools and compilers that let scientists run experiments on real hardware, most recently writing a compiler backend that generates assembly for an FPGA, so researchers can describe spin-qubit experiments generically and run them on physical instruments over VISA/SCPI.
I like working at multiple levels of the stack, from close to the metal to abstract layers of infrastructure. I also have been a maintainer and contributor to the open-source Coalton language.
I am also a classically trained violinist (Master of Music, Violin Performance, University of Denver). Most of my energy is spent coding these days, but I am more than eager to play or chat music when given the chance.
