About

Hi. My name is Eric Niebler, and I love C++. I am currently a Distinguished Engineer at NVIDIA, where I work on the next generation of high-performance C++ libraries for their accelerated platform. I have also spent many years as a freelance software developer, consultant, trainer and author. My specialty is C++ library and application development, with special emphasis on Generic Programming, modern C++ techniques, and the functional programming style.

I have written code for Meta, Microsoft Research, Microsoft Visual C++, and Boost.org, where I have authored 4 Boost libraries: Proto, Foreach, Xpressive, and Accumulators. I have also served as the release manager for Boost and as a member of the Boost Steering Committee.

I have been a member of the ISO C++ Standardization Committee for over 20 years where, among other things, I drove the effort to bring std::ranges to C++20. Presently, I am leading the effort to give C++26 a standard async programming model and a suite of Generic async algorithms.

I have spoken at C++Now, OOPSLA, and the Northwest C++ Users’ Group (NWCPP), and been a featured speaker at C++Now, C++Con, and C++ Russia. I gave the keynote presentation at Meeting C++ in 2013.

My public key can be found here.
