Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMark De Wever is a Senior C++ developer with over 30 years in software engineering and 26 years of focused professional experience, currently based in Amsterdam. He has spent the last 15 years intensively using all versions of C++, participates in WG21 (the ISO C++ Committee), and actively contributes to libc++ within the widely used LLVM project—notably improving chrono, time zone handling, and leap second behavior. Mark has led migrations to modern C++ (C++17), taught colleagues modern tooling, and shipped robust backend systems across domains from oceanographic buoys to sports timing and medical workflows. His work blends deep standards-level expertise with pragmatic maintenance and feature development, and he often surfaces subtle correctness improvements that prevent runtime failures in long-lived systems.
