Brandt Bucher

Brandt is a Python core developer currently working at Microsoft on a team tasked with improving the speed of the CPython interpreter.

He has been officially involved in CPython development for over four years now, and has improved its performance, stability, and expressiveness in a variety of ways. In addition to his ongoing contributions as part of the "Faster CPython" project in the 3.11-3.13 release cycles, he also helped design and lead the implementation of structural pattern matching, a major new feature of Python 3.10.

When he’s not pushing new commits on GitHub as @brandtbucher, he spends most of his free time at coffee shops sipping dark roast espresso and reading nonfiction.
