Ben Boeckel

Ben Boeckel graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute taking computer science classes while working on free and open source software in between classes. After graduating, he has been working on CMake itself and using it to help build software at Kitware for 14 years. He has worked on various CMake features over the years between implementation (e.g., C++ modules support, various policies to help some avoid old terrible behaviors) and deployment of them (e.g., usage requirements being used pervasively throughout VTK) into real-world projects.
