Andreas Gal was the former chief technology officer at Mozilla. He is most notable for his work on several open source projects and Mozilla technologies. Gal was born in Szeged, Hungary and grew up in Lübeck, Germany. During his high school time he worked on various open source AX.25 network stacks and designed a routing protocol for ham radio network nodes (INP3) that became widely supported by AX.25 network routers. During his graduate studies at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg he was a codesigner of AspectC++, an aspect-oriented extension of C and C++ languages. He later went on to obtain his Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine. His thesis introduced the concept of Tracing just-in-time compilation of high-level languages using trace trees.〔 ("HotpathVM: an effective JIT compiler for resource-constrained ) Andreas Gal, Christian W.
