Speaker Bios
Niko Matsakis is a Senior Principal Engineer at AWS and co-lead of the open-source Rust language design team. He has worked on Rust since 2011, and led the design of its “secret sauce”, the borrow checker. He has played a number of other roles in Rust over the years, such as being a member of the Rust core team, the lead of the Rust compiler team, and helping to launch the Rust Foundation. Prior to working on Rust, he completed a PhD at ETH Zurich and did his undergraduate studies at MIT.

Florian Gilcher was part of the Rust team in several roles and served on the Rust Foundation board. He is also a co-founder of the Rust Berlin meetup. Today, he’s training Rust at Ferrous Systems, a company he co-founded.

Open mic & future talks
We’ll reserve a few short slots for anyone who wants to share something with the group. This can be a quick idea, a project, or an experience. Slides are optional.

If you’re interested in giving a longer talk at a future meetup, this is also a good opportunity to connect with the organizers.

Venue & access
Please arrive on time. We will have someone at the entrance to let people in between 18:30 and 19:15. After that, access becomes more difficult as the doors are locked and require manual opening.

Registration
The venue has limited capacity, and events typically fill up with a waiting list. If you register and can no longer attend, even at short notice, please un-RSVP so someone else can take your spot.

Looking forward to seeing you all!
