Software Engineer
Christian received his B.Sc. in physics where he studied cosmological simulation software which introduced him to C++ and a love of programming. He's worked in the web development industry for 5+ years and spent 2 years writing computer vision-based software routines in OpenCV. He fell in love with C++ and Boost after spending too much time on the cpplang slack. When not programming, he enjoys wood-fired cooking and searching for the next greatest beers.
When I’m not busy eternally grinding on implementing hashing algorithms, I’ll sometimes take a moment and help other Boost libraries. I enjoy being a kind of soldier of Boost. Deploy me to any library in the project and I’ll dive in and get results.
Read more →I’m happy to report that the library I helped Peter Dimov develop, Hash2 , was accepted after probably one of the most thorough Boost reviews to have happened in recent history.
Read more →I’ve spent the last quarter developing a successor to the C++ stdlib in Safe C++, the proposal from Sean Baxter to add borrow-checking semantics to C++.
Read more →This last quarter I worked primarily in the http-proto library, this time extending serialization to include chunking and zlib compression routines: deflate and gzip.
Read more →In the past few months, I’ve been busy getting up to speed on the slate of proposed-for-Boost libraries: Boost.Buffers and Boost.Http.Proto.
Read more →This last quarter has been an interesting one. Development on the Unordered library has slowed down so I’ve been re-tasked with aiding in the development of a whole new slew of HTTP/1-based libraries.
Read more →Development on Unordered has been proceeding smoothly. Now that Boost libraries are permitted to drop C++03 support, Unordered has seen some long-needed cleanup.
