Cedric Champeau

CÉDRIC CHAMPEAU is a member of the Groovy core team. He is a passionate developer who started writing programs at the age of eight and learned it the hard way by manually typing magazine listings into an Amstrad PC1512. He worked several years in natural language processing where he used Groovy in multiple contexts, from a workflow engine to a DSL for linguists, and Lucene custom scoring. This is how he dived into the internals of the language and started contributing before becoming one of the core team members. He implemented many advanced Groovy features like compilation customizers, static compilation, traits, the markup template engine, and the recent support for Android.
