Summary
Mark Meretzky is an experienced software engineer and educator with over three decades of hands-on programming and 11 years of recent professional experience, specializing in C/C++ under Unix, Python, and mobile development for Android and iOS. He spent six years in the compiler industry designing retargetable code generators and translators, and two decades mastering modular C++ design, complexity management, and readable source architecture. As an award-winning adjunct professor at NYU and instructor for companies and conferences (Bloomberg, SANS, QCon), he creates rigorous, example-driven curricula and book-length handouts that other instructors adopt. Comfortable across languages from Perl and Ruby to Swift and Java, he pairs deep systems knowledge with a teacher’s empathy—structuring amorphous topics into economical, cumulative examples. An unusual blend of compiler internals, production C/C++ experience, and broad public teaching makes him adept at both building complex software and conveying it to diverse learners.
