Patrice Roy

Patrice Roy has been playing with C++ professionally, for pleasure, or (mostly) both for over 30 years. After a few years doing R&D and working on military flight simulators, he moved on to academics and has taught computer science since 1998. Since 2005, he has been involved more specifically in helping graduate students and professionals from the fields of real-time systems and game programming develop the skills they need to face today's challenges. Patrice has been a participating member of the ISO C++ Standards Committee since late 2014. He has five children, and his wife ensures that their house is home to a continuously changing number of cats, dogs, birds, and other animals.
