Hello,
I have found you after Andrew Burgess replied to a simple message on the GDB ML. He had already implemented the feature I wanted, and that was so awesome I decided to check where he worked, and found the opening :-)
I have graduated from some of the best engineering schools in Brazil and France: Ecole Polytechnique and University of Sao Paulo in applied mathematics, with a Masters Degree from Ecole Polytechnique.
I took a few computer science courses in college (including the mandatory make an interpreter project), but a large part of what I've learnt about computers was through books and passion projects.
I've graduated in 2014, and worked 4 months in a Fintech enterprise in Paris, but ended up leaving because it was too much finance, and too little technique.
Since then, I've been studying things that I love, which is basically "low-level" stuff, since I'm the kind of person who gets a kick out of knowing how my computer works in detail.
I am currently very excited about compilers and looking for a job in the domain. I have been studying GCC and related topics for the last month: ELF format, x86, etc.
I currently live in Paris, but would love to move to the UK. I have the Italian Citizenship (5th generation descendant, I grew up in Brazil).
My CV is annexed, and also have a look at my website: http://www.cirosantilli.com/
I don't have patches (yet!) to the project, but a few things to convince you that I have potential:
- I hold the number 1 google result for "x86 paging tutorial": http://www.cirosantilli.com/x86-paging/
- Relocation 101 tutorial: http://stackoverflow.com/a/30507725/895245
- Overview of the GCC options systems and -O3 in particular: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1778538/how-many-gcc-optimization-levels-are-there
- Study of what GCC compiles to in x86: https://github.com/cirosantilli/assembly-cheat/tree/172f22ca8527b161401d15d0ab93ed8a20209cf5/compiler-generated
- What I know about IA-32: https://github.com/cirosantilli/assembly-cheat/blob/172f22ca8527b161401d15d0ab93ed8a20209cf5/ia-32/main.asm
- Dissection of an ELF hello world: https://github.com/cirosantilli/assembly-cheat/blob/172f22ca8527b161401d15d0ab93ed8a20209cf5/elf-hello-world.md
- related higher level stuff that I know:
My largest software contribution so far was to GitLab (open source): I was the number 2 contributor from 2013 to 2015. I worked on it for an educational cause: the Booktree project https://github.com/booktree/booktree , but web development is not my favorite technology, and I got back into lower level things.
Besides GCC, I would also love to learn about LLVM some day.
One of my strengths is the ability to explain things to others, see my articles: http://www.cirosantilli.com/articles/ My technique is to quickly switch between theory (standards, rationale, internals) and practice (examples, tool usage) to link them.
I would love to work with open source projects as a job. Open source just makes the world richer.
If you like, you could give me a small (1 week?) project(s) on one of the open source projects to which you contribute for me to do under your supervision for you to evaluate me and see how we get along.
We could have a quick daily Skype meeting for me to report my progress + async communication if I get stuck on some point.
All best,
Ciro SANTILLI
I would like to know what is going on you said you would get ahold of me I am the one who had other companies
