Daniela Engert
Software Engineer and Hardware Hacker
Daniela has a degree in electrical engineering and has been working for more than 35 years in small innovative companies in the field of software and hardware development. In her youth, she was excited exploring the very first microprocessors appearing in the late 70's, and has been creating software professionally for more than 40 years now.
After a long time using many different programming languages, C++ has now been the workhorse throughout the past two decades. With great pleasure, Daniela is also participating in the ISO C++ committee.
For the better part of her career, the major business domain was applied digital signal processing (medicine, metrology, reconnaissance), but in the last decade, the focus shifted onto special engineering in the field of industrial non-destructive testing of semi-finished and finished steel products using ultrasound.
Besides that, she loves to relax with hard metal and soft cheese, hot curries and cool jazz.

Towards Safety and Security in C++26
There is a perceived push towards memory-safe languages in the developer community. Various administrative bodies want to see a reduction in avoidable vulnerabilities in commonly used software. These vulnerabilities may cause harm of people, equipment, and property.
Long-term efforts in the standardization of C++ look like to become available in C++26. There is a wide range of proposals to improve the language, and merging them into the international standard is of utmost priority to the C++ committee.
We will look at those proposals, their current status in the upcoming C++26 standard, and the potential impact on the ecosystem and the development landscape.
