About me
Robert Leahy is a C++ systems engineer specializing in the design of C++ libraries and high-performance infrastructure. Over the past decade he has built latency-sensitive financial systems, contributed to patented database technology, and developed production software for processing and analyzing financial market data at scale. As an active member of the ISO C++ standards committee, Robert's work focuses on library evolution, asynchronous programming, networking, and concurrency. His talks draw on production experience to explore how modern C++ abstractions can make large systems easier to reason about and maintain without sacrificing performance, while remaining practical to adopt in existing codebases.
