PROFILE

Mike Urbach

Worked on the OpenXiangShan/circt repository to modernize Python bindings by migrating to nanobind, removing multiple inheritance, and converting helper classes to static initializers. This approach improved maintainability and enabled cross-module bindings through explicit enum casting, aligning the codebase with modern LLVM releases. Leveraged C++ and Python to enhance code clarity and readability, particularly in the binding layer. Additionally, addressed build and CI reliability by updating CMake configurations to accommodate upstream changes in MLIR dependencies, ensuring stable integration for downstream tooling. The work demonstrated a focus on software architecture, build system configuration, and seamless C++/Python interoperability throughout the project.
