David Hanson (computer scientist)

David R. Hanson is a Software Engineer who worked at Google until he retired in January 2012, working in programming languages, compilers, software tools, and programming environments. Before joining Google, he was with Microsoft Research, Princeton,[1] University of Arizona,[2] and Yale.[3] He has written many journal and conference papers and two books: A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation with Christopher Fraser, which describes lcc, a widely used compiler for Standard C,[4] and C Interfaces and Implementations: Techniques for Creating Reusable Software.[5]

Not to be confused with David Heinemeier Hansson.

Hanson is largely responsible for designing and implementing the "View as Slideshow" feature for PowerPoint attachments in Google's Gmail system.[6]

Hanson has one daughter born November 2, 1977 named Jennifer, who worked as a compiler in his second book.[7]

Additionally, Hanson is well known among Tufts University students for his confusing yet efficient implementations of various data structures.[9]
