I designed and implemented
the C++ programming language.
For decades, I helped keep C++ an effective language for systems development through
research,
novel design and programming techniques,
language improvements,
library design,
education, and
standardization.
All based on feedback from real-world use.
I'm a professor of Computer Science in Columbia University in New York City.
