Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Marler is a software engineer based in Meridian, Idaho with 11 years of experience, currently contributing to backend systems at Tuple after a long tenure at HP. He’s an active open-source contributor to compiler and language toolchains — notably LDC (the LLVM-based D compiler), dmd, and Zig — where he’s shipped features like __FILE_FULL_PATH__, compile-time validations, MSVC build support, and test-suite/automation improvements. His work spans low-level systems, build and automation tooling, and developer-facing utilities (including authoring zigup to manage Zig compilers), reflecting both systems-level rigor and pragmatic tooling. Jonathan often focuses on portability and developer experience, turning runtime checks into compile-time guarantees and streamlining tests for relative paths and split execution.
