Stephan Dilly works as the head of front-end engineering at InnoGames in Germany. In the nine years of professional software development, he has worked in the games industry for Funatics and Ubisoft Blue Byte. He has also worked as a software consultant at Sopra Steria Consulting. The D programming language has been his language of choice for his spare-time projects since 2006. In 2014, Stephan was a speaker at the DConf in San Francisco, where he talked about a backend server architecture developed in D.
Paul Féraud is software engineer with passion for math, algorithms, and programming. He holds a diplôme d'Ingénieur in mechanical engineering from the École Centrale de Nantes in France and a master's degree in software engineering from Keio University in Japan.
Paul has worked for Amadeus, developing a business rule engine that is designed for very high throughput. He has also worked for Dassault Systèmes, developing the architecture backing SIMULIA's finite element simulation systems.
In parallel to this, Paul took great interest in the D programming language and began contributing to its development. He became a member of the core development team and has participated in the design and implementation of its standard library.
Paul now works for Google in Switzerland. He spends most of his time raising his beautiful daughter with his loving and supporting wife.
Kazuki Komatsu is a university student, currently majoring in wireless communication engineering. He started learning D programming language at the age of 16. He has been writing D grammar documents in Japanese and creating a variety of D libraries, such as linear algebra, compile-time meta programming, and Twitter client. Recently, Kazuki has been creating GUI toolkit, awebview, which is similar to GitHub's Electron; however, awebview is written with D and we can write GUI apps with D, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Adam D. Ruppe is the author of D Cookbook, Packt Publishing and a long-time contributor to the D ecosystem.
Robert "burner" Schadek is a regular contributor to the standard D library, Phobos. His D journey started when he used D to create a Distributed Multithreaded Caching D compiler for his computer science master's thesis. He presented this work at DConf 2013. His commitment to Phobos can be seen all over the library. His biggest contribution to Phobos is the experimental logging framework. He is currently working on his PhD in computer science at the University of Oldenburg, Germany. There, he uses the high-performance computing (HPC) facility of the university and a lot of C++ to crunch the numbers on his original data-replication protocol. However, during his programming, he has learned one thing to be true—every untested function is buggy.
