Pointers Gone Wild

My name is Maxime Chevalier-Boisvert. I’ve just completed a PhD degree with a concentration in compiler design at the Université de Montréal. My thesis was focused on Just-In-Time (JIT) machine code optimization techniques for dynamic programming languages (e.g.: JavaScript, Python, etc.). I’m also interested in programming language design, machine learning, 3D rendering, game development, music, sound synthesis, microcontrollers and electronics. This blog is an outlet for me to talk about my research, technological interests, hobbies and ideas. Most of my recent programming work is open source and available on GitHub.
