PROFILE

Heiko Becker

Heiko Becker focused on stabilizing and modernizing build systems across several open source projects, including protocolbuffers/protobuf, greenbone/gvmd, and nextcloud/desktop. He addressed a client-reported compilation error in protobuf by refining enum-to-int conversions in C++, ensuring correct operator overload resolution and reliable downstream builds. In gvmd, he improved C23 and GCC 15 compatibility by completing a function prototype in C, resolving a persistent build blocker and enhancing CI stability. For nextcloud/desktop, Heiko implemented CMake and Qt build fixes to support newer toolchains, reducing CI failures and improving maintainability. His work demonstrated depth in C, C++, and build system engineering.
