PROFILE

Simmo Saan

Worked extensively on the ocaml/opam-repository, delivering new features and maintaining critical OCaml tooling with a focus on compatibility, stability, and static analysis. Leveraged OCaml and Shell scripting to implement compiler upgrades, dependency management, and CI/CD improvements, enabling seamless adoption of new OCaml versions and reducing integration issues for downstream users. Enhanced static analysis frameworks by refining C program analysis and network function specifications, while also improving packaging strategies to ensure reliable upgrades. Addressed cross-platform build challenges and enforced compatibility constraints, resulting in smoother deployments and safer code analysis. Demonstrated depth in software engineering, release management, and program analysis throughout.
