Guests of CppCast

Lenny Maiorani

Lenny has been using C++ off and on since 1995. Since graduating from SUNY Plattsburgh with a degree in Computer Science, he has been working at startups focused on high-throughput applications. About 2 years ago he joined Quantlab and discovered a different type of high-performance computing in low latency systems. Lenny lives in Denver, Colorado with his wife Lexey and their dog. He can be found hiking in the Colorado mountains while thinking about container access patterns and wondering if std::map can be renamed to std::ordered_map.

Linus Groh

Linus started his programming journey in 2012 fiddling around with languages like Python and JavaScript, eventually combining them in his work as a full stack web developer. Later he decided to learn C++ and dive into operating system development by contributing to the SerenityOS project, where he is now a maintainer and active member of the community. You’ll mostly find him working on the system’s own JavaScript engine, LibJS.

Lisa Lippincott

Lisa Lippincott designed the software architectures of Tanium and BigFix, two systems for managing large fleets of computers. She’s also a language nerd, and has contributed to arcane parts of the C++ standard. In her spare time, she studies mathematical logic, and wants to make computer-checked proofs of correctness a routine part of programming.

Logan Kilpatrick

Logan is the Developer Community Advocate for the Julia Programming Language as well as a Senior Technology Advocate at PathAI where he leads Machine Learning and Open Source Advocacy. Logan is on the Board of Directors at NumFOCUS, the organization behind open source projects like Jupyter, NumPy, Pandas, and more. He is also on the Board of the Django Events Foundation North America, the non-profit behind DjangoCon US.

Loïc Joly

Loïc is a C++ coder, speaker, teacher and expert. He represents France on the ISO C++ standardization committee and is also a member of the committee drafting the next version of the MISRA C++ standard for safety-critical systems. In addition to developing in C++, he has a special interest in teaching it and spreading good practices across the community. He is a frequent speaker at meetups and conferences and teaches at Telecom SudParis. Since he joined SonarSource in 2018, he has worked on static analysis for C++, both specifying rules to help other developers and having the fun of implementing them.

Louis Dionne

Louis is a math and computer science enthusiast with interest in C++ (meta)programming, functional programming, domain specific languages and related subjects. He is an active member of the Boost community, and recently wrote the Boost.Hana metaprogramming library.

Lukács Berki

After a number of diverse jobs with computers including Linux system administration and GPS navigation devices, Lukács has been working at Google in the Bazel team since 2009; in this decade, he has worked on almost every part of it: integration with remote execution, Android builds, its internal dependency management framework, internal telemetry, support for various programming languages and a lot more. He played a significant role in creating Bazel from Blaze, its Google-internal predecessor.
