In this episode, I interview Robert Widmann. Robert is a rising Junior at Carnegie Mellon University where he studies Mathematics. He was an intern at Apple on the Swift Compiler Team in 2016. He will be interning at Apple on the Swift Static Analysis Team this summer, and he's also a frequent contributor to Swift Open Source.

I really wanted to interview Robert because he helped me get my first Swift Open Source pull request merged in. The Swift Community is really lucky to have Robert as a member. Anyone interested in talking about Swift or getting started with Swift Open Source should definitely reach out to him on Twitter.

Enjoy!
