Modern C++ Application Development

Native applications and libraries in modern C++ with explicit ownership, predictable performance, and builds that reproduce on every developer machine and CI runner.

C++ is the right tool when you need deterministic resource handling, direct access to OS and GPU APIs, or tight control over latency and memory. It is also the language where a codebase can quietly accumulate risk, so I write it conservatively. My baseline is C++17 or C++20, depending on your compilers and platforms: Ownership is explicit. Resources are held by RAII types, raw owning pointers don’t cross API boundaries, and std::uniqueptr is the default. Shared ownership is a deliberate decision, not a habit. Value semantics first. Small, copyable types with clear invariants are much easier…
