Mike Spertus is a Fellow/VP at Symantec where he serves as Chief Scientist for Cybersecurity Services, an Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at the University of Chicago, where he teaches Advanced C++ and Big Data in the Masters Program in Computer Science, and a long-time member of the C++ Standards Committee, where he is submitted over 50 proposals, several of which are now parts of the C++ language. He feels fortunate to not only be able to spend time on C++ in all three roles but as one of his favorite hobbies as well.

At CPPCon 2017, his poster on Class Template Argument Deduction Best Practices won Best Poster award
