Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnders Knatten is a Staff Engineer based in Oslo with over 14 years of hands-on experience building high-performance C++ systems and real-time concurrent software, currently leading C/C++ practices at Squarehead Technology. He is an experienced speaker, technical leader and author of C++ Brain Teasers (PragProg 2024), runs the long-running C++ blog and CppQuiz, and regularly presents at top conferences like CppCon. Anders combines deep systems knowledge—ABIs, sanitizers, memory models and performance modeling—with practical DevOps and CI/CD improvements, exemplified by his work streamlining build pipelines for fuse-samples. He has a track record of improving developer experience and engineering culture, mentoring engineers and introducing tools and analyses to eliminate subtle undefined behavior in production code. His background spans compiler and toolchain work, CPU/memory-system modeling and embedded/realtime acoustic systems for drone defense, giving him an unusually broad view from low-level assembly to high-level release processes. Colleagues rely on him for hard C++ answers, thoughtful architecture, and pragmatic improvements that reduce risk across the development lifecycle.

Contributions summary:Anders primarily focused on improving the CI/CD pipeline and build processes for the project. Their commits included modifications to the build scripts, such as `get-fuse.sh` and `build_examples.sh`, to support features like handling slashes in branch names, excluding specific samples from builds, and integrating with the TeamCity build system. They also adjusted the build process to use web-based Fuse branches and to print stack traces for Uno exceptions, streamlining development and debugging.
