Kai Nacke is a professional IT architect living in Dusseldorf,
Germany. He holds a diploma in computer science from the University
of Dortmund. His diploma thesis about universal hash functions was
recognized as the best of the semester. He has been with IBM for
more than 15 years, and has great experience in the development and
architecture of business and enterprise applications.
Fascinated by the first home computer, he learned to program a
VIC-20 in BASIC. Later, he turned to Turbo PASCAL and Small C on
CP/M. Experimenting with the source of Small C created his interest
in compiler technology. Many computers, operating systems, and
languages followed these first steps.
Around 2005, he became interested in the D programming language and
created the first fun applications in D. Missing a 64-bit D
compiler for Windows, he started to contribute to the LLVM compiler
framework and LDC, the LLVM-based D compiler. Soon, he became
committer of both projects and is now the current maintainer of
LDC.
He is also a speaker at the Free and Open Source Software
Developers' European Meeting (FOSDEM) and was one of the reviewers
of D Cookbook, Packt Publishing.
