Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPhoebe Goldman is a software engineer with a decade of experience specializing in programming language runtimes, compiler optimizations, and memory systems. Currently at Clockwork Labs, she designs core storage and API surface for a real-time WASM stored-procedure database and maintains a Rust client SDK that blends systems engineering with compiler-adjacent code generation. A longtime PL enthusiast and contributor to projects like the Coalton language—where she improved type checking, code generation, and persistent data structures—she brings practical experience across Common Lisp, Coalton, and Rust. Unusually for an engineer focused on low-level systems, she holds a background in Dramatic Literature and deliberately chose that path to sharpen her command of language and complex thought, which informs her clear design sensibilities.
