Mark Van Gulik Email & Phone Number

Mark Van Gulik is a Language Implementor at Static Lattice LLC. Colleagues describe him as "Mark is the smartest person that I know, and over the course of my life I have been privileged to know many smart people. Mark has world-changing smarts; when people were barely talking about terabyte relational databases, he was building petabyte object databases for titanic companies. And not upon an existing database product, but from scratch: novel serialization and storage algorithms, distributed match algorithms, conflict resolution algorithms, just-in-time code generation for stored methods (not merely procedures!), near real-time no-ETL distributed analysis without a dedicated analytical store, and a stylable WYSIWYG frontend generator. His technology made tens of millions of dollars for MIOsoft. He was my mentor there, long before I became his boss at Gilson, and his tutelage made me the programmer that I am today. While his database acumen is beyond impressive, I most admire his genius as a language designer and compiler engineer. His next-gen programming language, Avail, drew me in from the beginning; Avail and I have been together for roughly 14 years now. Together we built a parallel, continuation-passing compiler capable of user-defined lexing, parsing, and semantic analysis — an ideal tool for building domain-specific languages. I would gladly endorse Mark for any software development role, but he shines brightest in high-tech. Give him space to innovate, and he will change the paradigms of your game and deliver something amazing."
