Systems engineer and founder

I design languages and the systems that make them real.

I’m Annabella Proctor, a systems engineer and founder. My central work is Gray, a programming language and native runtime built as one connected system.

I work across compilers, asynchronous I/O, PostgreSQL execution, deployment, developer tooling, and reproducible performance research.
