Guests of CppCast

Richel Bilderbeek

Richel Bilderbeek is a C++ developer for 17 years. He is mostly interested in what the literature has to say about good C++ practices, then teaching children and to adults, additionally writing articles, blog posts and tutorials. In his professional life, he is a PhD in theoretical biology.

Robert Leahy

Robert is a graduate of the University of Victoria where he specialized in graphics, gaming, and digital geometry processing. After 4.5 years in full stack web development he pivoted to financial technology in early 2017. He’s since become involved in the ISO C++ committee and strives to deliver software which is high quality and process-driven while also meeting the rigorous performance standards for which finance is so well known.

Robert Maynard

Robert Maynard is a principal engineer at Kitware and spends most of his time as a primary developer of VTK-m. VTK-m is a HPC toolkit of scientific visualization algorithms for highly concurrent processor and accelerator architectures. It uses a fine-grained concurrency model for data analysis and visualization algorithms allowing for seamless execution on GPU’s or many-core CPUs.

When not working on VTK-m, Robert is either; writing CMake code, teaching CMake, or working to improve CMake.

Robert Nystrom

Bob Nystrom is a software engineer at Google working on the Dart programming language. Before falling in love with programming languages and compilers, he was a game developer, UI programmer, pixel artist, and computer animator. He is the author of Crafting Interpreters and Game Programming Patterns, a college dropout, and a fairly decent cook.

Robert O'Callahan

Robert O’Callahan has a PhD in computer science at Carnegie Mellon and did academic research for a while at IBM Research, working on dynamic program analysis tools. At the same time he was contributing to Mozilla as a volunteer, until he switched gears to work full-time with Mozilla; Robert has been working on what became Firefox for over 15 years, mostly on layout and rendering in the browser engine and on related Web standards like CSS and DOM APIs. Lately he’s been devoting about half of his time to rr.

Robert Ramey

Robert Ramey is a freelance C++ programmer for around 20 years. He has worked on a variety of applications including desktop retail applications, embedded systems on tiny micro controllers and combinations of these. For the last 10 of those years he has been active in the Boost Organization and

• Author and Maintainer of the Boost Serialization library
• Instigator of the Boost Library Incubator (www.blincubator.com)
• Given talks on Boost/C++ related topics at C++Now and CPPCon
• Written articles in print periodicals such as Software Development and ACCU Overload

Of late his interest has become more focused on practical approaches to improving program correctness. This has motivated recent talks at CPP Con ( boost units library, C++ and abstract algebra) and most recently the Safe Numerics library - which has very recently been accepted as an official Boost Library.

Robert Schumacher

Robert Schumacher is a developer on the Microsoft Visual C++ Libraries team and the lead developer for vcpkg. He has previously worked on the MSVC implementation of the Modules TS and is the current maintainer of Cpprestsdk. Besides work, he occasionally indulges in functional programming and arguments about whether inheritance is fundamentally flawed.
