Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichael Park is a seasoned C++ software engineer with 12 years' experience building and hardening back-end and compiler tooling at Facebook and Mesosphere, and a long history of impactful open-source contributions. An Apache Mesos committer, LLVM committer, and member of the C++ Standards Committee, he authored and maintains libc++'s std::variant and the MPark.Variant/patterns projects that bring modern C++ features to older standards. His work ranges from low-level concurrency and executor improvements in Facebook's folly to compiler fixes and module serialization in LLVM/Clang, showing deep expertise in performance, correctness, and toolchain internals. Based in San Francisco and a frequent conference speaker, he combines production engineering at scale with standards-level design, often surfacing subtle language and ABI issues before they reach users. An uncommon detail: he’s contributed both practical runtime features (EDF executors, futures APIs) and standards-grade library implementations, bridging day-to-day engineering with the evolution of C++ itself.
