Andrei Alexandrescu is a Romanian C++ programmer and author. He is particularly known for his pioneering work on policy-based design implemented via template metaprogramming. These ideas are articulated in his book Modern C++ Design and were first implemented in his programming library, Loki. He also implemented the "move constructors" concept in his MOJO library.[2] He contributed to the C/C++ Users Journal under the byline "Generic<Programming>". Alexandrescu is currently a research scientist at Facebook.

Education and career[edit]
Alexandrescu received a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Polytechnic University of Bucharest (Universitatea Politehnica din Bucureşti) in July 1994.[3][4]
His first article was published in the C/C++ Users Journal in September 1998. He was a program manager for Netzip, Inc. from April 1999 until February 2000. When the company was acquired by RealNetworks, Inc., he served there as a development manager from February 2000 through September 2001.[3]
Alexandrescu earned an M.S. (2003) and a Ph.D. (2009) in computer science from the University of Washington.[5][6][7]
More recently, he has been assisting Walter Bright in the development of the D programming language. Alexandrescu released a book titled The D Programming Language in May 2010.
Alexandrescu, Herb Sutter, and Scott Meyers run C++ and Beyond, a small annual technical conference.
