Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Marler is a software engineer with 11 years of experience, currently building software at Tuple after a long tenure at HP. He specializes in compiler and tooling work, contributing substantial backend and automation improvements to high-profile open-source projects such as the D compiler (dmd), LDC, and Zig, including features like __FILE_FULL_PATH__, compile-time validations, and Windows-specific build support. Comfortable across low-level systems and build infrastructure, he has improved test harnesses, command-line interfaces, and cross-platform build configurations to make toolchains more robust and maintainable. He also authors practical tooling like zigup to simplify managing language toolchains, demonstrating a blend of systems programming and full-stack pragmatism. Based in Meridian, Idaho, he pairs a Computer Science degree from the University of Idaho with hands-on open-source impact that often targets nuanced platform and build-time behaviors.
