== Andrei Alexandrescu ==
 
 
 
He is the author of the book "The D Programming Language" (2010), and is
 
the author of the award winning "Modern C++ Design" (2001), and with
 
Herb Sutter, "C++ Coding Standards" (2005). Since 2006 Andrei has
 
collaborated closely with Walter Bright, the creator and
 
driving force behind D, on the design and implementation of the language
 
and its standard library.  He currently works with Facebook. Andrei's favorite English words are "No" and "Destroy".
 
You can check out Andrei in action [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U580iDBBZQk&feature=youtu.be here].
 
 
 
== Iain Buclaw ==
 
 
 
Lead developer, project coordinator and the principal force behind the development of the GNU D Compiler from as far back as 2009, where he was responsible for the migration over from D1 to D2, as well as from GCC 3.x to GCC 4.x. Iain works on for a Cloud Services/Hosting company as a technical engineer, and unofficially uses D on a frequent basis to develop interpreters, and various plug-ins to work within the company infrastructure.  You can watch Iain's recent DConf talk [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ufrxfl2G3k here].
 
 
 
== Richard (Rikki) Andrew Cattermole ==
 
 
 
Richard is from New Zealand. He recently graduated from Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology with a degree in ICT.<br/>
 
In the D community he is known for DOOGLE (GUI toolkit), Cmsed, Dvorm and more recently [https://github.com/Devisualization Devisualization].<br/>
 
He has a strange fascination towards CTFE and its many uses. For this reason alone Cmsed, has significant CTFE usage in helping optimise routing and database work.
 
 
 
== Bruno Medeiros ==
 
 
 
Bruno is the lead developer of DDT on and off from as far back as 2008. He has an interest in toolchain development for up and coming languages such as D, particularly the development of IDEs and IDE semantic functionality.  Professionally, Bruno works mainly with core Java and Eclipse RCP technologies - currently on R&D projects.
 
 
 
== Martin Nowak ==
 
 
 
Starting off as electrical engineering student he became a C++ developer working on DSP and application code at [https://www.ableton.com Ableton]. Following 1.5 years of full-time open source he is now working as backend engineer at [http://www.plugintheworld.com Mobisol]. Martin is one of the main contributors to the [https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime D runtime] and was recently named release manager for the D reference compiler and standard library.
 
You can find his GitHub profile [https://github.com/MartinNowak here].

== Craig Dillabaugh ==
 
 
 
Craig is a avid fan of the D programming language since he first came across it five years ago. It is the first open source project he has contributed too, but since he is not a programming whiz, like the others listed on this page, he has taken a management position.  He has a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Carleton University with a specialization in Computational Geometry and External Memory data structures. He lives in Ottawa, Canada where he works as a developer for Solana Networks. In his free time he likes to hang out with his family, and is interested in soccer (football), ice hockey and skiing.
