| − | == 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.

| − | == Jens Mueller ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Jens studied computer science at [http://www.uni-ulm.de/ Ulm University] in [https://www.google.de/maps/place/Ulm/@48.398325,9.9914649,1046m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x4799646998350bfd:0x41f6bb7a5df7d90 Ulm] (well-known for Ulm Minster - the highest church in the world) and in his hometown Berlin at [http://www.hu-berlin.de Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin]. He joined [http://www.uni-jena.de Friedrich Schiller University Jena] for doctoral studies, completed in 2014, and works as postdoc since then.
| |
| − | | |
| − | His interests lie in algorithms and in particular in machine learning. He likes expressing computation in mathematical notions such as linear algebra and enjoys generic programming. Professionally during his PhD he concerned himself with generating solvers for machine learning problems using D. Although he is rarely seen in the D forums, he tries to follow D's development closely.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Currently he lives in Halle (Saale) and plays badminton regularly.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Martin Nowak ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Martin started to learn C++ in 2009 while working as a DSP and application developer at Ableton. Two years later he was lucky enough to delve into D. Contributing to dmd and druntime has accompanied his discovery of programming since then. Martin still looks forward to finishing his studies in electrical engineering, and is an Emacser. Martin was recently named release manager for the D reference compiler and standard library.

| − | == Amaury Sechet ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Amaury, or Deadalinx as he is known in the D community, is an engineer with Facebook, and the creator and lead developer on SDC.

| − | == 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.
