Marcus is a senior computer scientist in the Advanced Technology Group at Adobe
Systems, Inc. He has been developing software since 1985. In the summer of
2000, during a camping trip on the Washington coast, he read Czarnecki and
Eisenecker's seminal &quot;Generative Programming&quot; book. This opened up a
world of development possibilities beyond objects for him, and he hasn't looked
back. His first contribution to Boost followed soon afterwards; he discovered a
way to exploit the properties of the sizeof operator to simulate partial
specialization (is_pointer, etc. with Jesse Jones).
</p>
<p>A mathematician by training, Mat is amused by abstraction. In his spare
professional time he is studying algebraic specification, category theory, and
philosophy in the hopes of someday understanding and exploiting the deep
answers to the question &quot;What is a type?&quot;. He is currently active as
Adobe's principal representative on the ANSI/ISO C++ committee. Mat also enjoys
ultimate frisbee, go, bodysurfing, and camping with his family. But above all,
he likes to laugh.</p>
<p>Mat lives in Seattle with his wife and young son (shown in large photo).
