Subject: Interest in Kotlin Compiler Fuzzer (Kai) – Outside GSoC

Hi everyone,

I read a post about implementing a Kotlin Compiler Fuzzer — I'm Mohamed Atef, an ML compiler engineer from Egypt. I came across your project Kotlin Compiler Fuzzer (Kai) and found it very interesting.

I'd like to work on it outside of GSoC — ideally together, or with your guidance/mentoring until we have a solid tool. Looking forward to your reply (positive or negative), and I hope we can collaborate on this.


Skills & experience

Must-have

· Proficiency in Kotlin or another JVM-based language – I have solid Java experience (not perfect, but happy to learn Kotlin deeply).
· Technical English – I use English daily in my job.
· Basic understanding of compilers – I'm confident here. I work as an ML Compiler Engineer

Nice-to-have

· Fuzzing or program analysis – No fuzzing experience yet, but I have compiler static analysis experience (Dataflow analysis, SSA, Domination, DCE, Loop opts, etc.).
· Kotlin compiler/IDE plugins – None yet, but eager to learn.
· Greenfield dev tooling – Haven't built a tool from scratch, but I'm familiar with CMake, llvm-lit, clang-format, and regularly contribute to open source.

Thanks,
Mohamed

This channel is for proposals related to the language itself, e.g. new language features etc. Maybe post this in #C0BUHC9HD instead?
