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. | Craig is a avid fan of the D programming language since he first came across it five years ago.

D Mentors
This page provides brief biographies of mentors for Google Summer of Code Projects for the D Programming Language. If you are looking for information on the creatures from the Harry Potter books, try here.
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 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 here.
Richard (Rikki) Andrew Cattermole
Richard is from New Zealand. He recently graduated from Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology with a degree in ICT.
In the D community he is known for DOOGLE (GUI toolkit), Cmsed, Dvorm and more recently Devisualization.
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.
Martin Nowak
After working 2 years as C++ application and DSP developer at Ableton and almost 2 years of full-time open source work, Martin is currently working as backend engineer at Mobisol. He is one of the main contributors to the D runtime and reference compiler, and also D's release manager. You can find his GitHub profile here.
Jacob Ovrum
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.
Russel Winder
Dragos Carp
Dragos started writing embedded software for laser applications. Currently he works in Munich coding in D on passenger information systems. He has an interest in asynchronous programming and communication protocols and ported the asyncio python library to D.
Stefan Rohe
Stefan is officially the first commercial D programmer worldwide. He is a fan of static code analysis and the author of AnalyzeD. At Funkwerk he introduced this programming language, so that D today is deployed widely in public transport all over Europe.
Administrators
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.
Sebastian Wilzbach
Sebastian is a former GSoC student for BioJavaScript (2014) and the D Language Foundation (2016). He's a regular contributor to Phobos, the Mir project and other open source projects. In his other life he studies computational biology in Munich and works as an IT consultant.
