- More than twenty five years of experience, with > 7k contributions to many open source projects over two decades in addition to a wide variety of commercial experience. - I am part of the International Standardisation of C and C++, serving on multiple committees and study groups for many years, including as an ISO national representative for the Republic of Ireland. Some recent ISO standards papers: - https://wg21.link/p1028 SG14 status_code and standard error object - https://wg21.link/p1030 std::filesystem::path_view - https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3533.pdf Standard secure networking - https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3540.pdf Modern signals handling - After six years of work, I successfully got a fundamentals library past Boost C++ Libraries peer review and into Boost, the first fundamentals library to do so in many years. (https://ned14.github.io/outcome/) - I hold graduate or postgraduate qualifications in Software Engineering, Economics, Management, Business Information Systems, Educational and Social Research, and Pure Maths. - I formerly served in administration of the Boost C++ Libraries (http://www.boost.org/). I was the lead for spending over US$150k of funding. - I have spoken as a domain expert on multiple occasions at the major global C++ conferences, CppCon, ACCU, C++ Now, Meeting C++ as well as at local C++ user groups. I have been interviewed twice as a C++ expert on CppCast.
