Folks in the community will know me from a few different places. I spent about ten years answering C++ and C questions on Stackoverflow and I am in the top contributors in C++ and C. I am probably best known within the C++ community for my weekly C++ Twitter/Mastodon quizzes, I have published almost 300 quizzes. Folks may also know me through my blog where I discuss various topics in C++ in more depth or topics related to the LLVM community:

I am part of the C++ committee. I have written various proposals (P1705, P3075 and P3569) and I am actively involved in the Core Working Group (CWG).


I work for Intel as a compiler engineer supporting clang, I am one of the main triage folks for clang and C++ bugs that come in from the LLVM community.
