Leonardo Faé

I am a Rust-focused systems developer and researcher with strong experience in compilers, systems performance, and parallel programming. I build high-performance tools and libraries for multicore, distributed, and GPU environments.

I maintain and contribute to open-source projects such as a Rust wallpaper manager that uses SIMD for performance and an automatic hash-function synthesis tool that generates C++ from computed regular expressions. These projects demonstrate practical systems-level engineering and attention to low-level optimization.

My master's research centers on a high-level DSL in Rust that generates code for multicore, MPI-based distributed systems, and GPUs. That work has produced peer-reviewed publications and a defended thesis, reflecting both academic rigor and applied systems design.

I work fluently in Rust, C/C++, Java, Zig, Lua, and Python, and I prioritize measurable performance improvements, reproducible results, and clear, maintainable code. I enjoy roles that combine hands-on engineering with research-driven problem solving.
