ThePhD – known in meatspace as JeanHeyd – is a Computer Science undergraduate at the Fu Foundation School of Engineering in Columbia University. They are currently working on Open Source C++ and C++ Standardization projects, as well as exploring graphics programming. They are currently dabbling with Haskell and Elm for fun, and are attempting to wrangle their biggest open source project – sol2 – into a newer, better version of itself. The nickname is a std::promise<> on their std::future<>.

JeanHeyd “ThePhD” is a student at Columbia University in New York and an organizer for Shepherd’s Oasis, LLC. They are the Project Editor for the C Language, and they manage a large open-source contribution – sol2 – that is used across many industries and academic disciplines. They are currently working towards earning their own nickname, climbing the academic ladder while spending as much time as possible contributing to C++ standardization and development. Their newest and biggest project is Unicode for C++. Learn more about JeanHeyd’s work at their website, and more about Shepherd’s Oasis through their website.
They very much love dogs and hopes to have their own in a year or so. They also like TWRP’s “Feels Pretty Good” from the album Together Through Time.
