Also known as: Stenberg, bagder
Daniel Stenberg wrote curl in 1996. curl and its library libcurl are now embedded in essentially every Linux device, server, and embedded system — plausibly the most widely deployed piece of open-source software in history. He received the Polhem Prize from Sweden's king in 2017 for his work on curl, and joined wolfSSL in 2019 to work on curl full-time.
