Kayvan Memarian contributed to the rems-project/cn and GaloisInc/cerberus repositories by developing modular build systems, configurable compiler support, and formal verification scaffolding. He refactored the Cerberus runtime into separate packages, improved memory layout calculations for C structs, and enabled flexible C compiler selection through command-line interfaces. His work included integrating Coq for formal methods, enhancing backend clarity, and managing dependencies for reliable builds. Using OCaml, Dune, and Shell scripting, Kayvan streamlined CI workflows and repository structure, enabling independent component development. His engineering demonstrated depth in compiler development, system programming, and codebase management, resulting in maintainable and extensible infrastructure.

May 2025 monthly summary for rems-project/cn: Delivered configurable C compiler support to enhance build flexibility and CI integration. Implemented an optional --cc argument in frontend and setup modules to select the C compiler, with a fallback to the CC environment variable or the default 'cc'. CN-exec updated to apply a user-provided C compiler path for compilation commands, enabling teams to customize their toolchains.

Monthly summary for 2025-03: Delivered a set of focused engineering improvements across two repositories, emphasizing modular packaging, memory correctness, and CI efficiency. Key outcomes include: (1) Cerberus runtime packaging and build system refactor in rems-project/cn: extracted cerberus-lib from backend packages, updated build configurations and CI tests, and migrated runtime references from CERB_RUNTIME to CERB_INSTALL_PATH; (2) Memory size calculation fix for C structs with a flexible array member: corrected offsets and sizeof handling to account for trailing padding, ensuring accurate memory layout; (3) Coq pretty-printer module qualification fix: added missing Mem qualifiers to Coq constructors in impl_mem.ml for clearer and correct generated code; (4) Discontinued cn CI workflows in GaloisInc/cerberus: removed CI workflow files for cn component, reducing maintenance burden and CI resource usage. Overall impact: improved build stability and modular packaging, more accurate memory modeling and Coq code generation, plus significant CI cost reductions. Technologies/skills demonstrated: OCaml/Dune-based build system refactor, C memory layout calculations, Coq code generation and qualification, and CI/CD workflow management and cleanup.
