Fabrice Bellard, born in 1972 in Grenoble, France, is a pivotal figure in internet technology, yet remains largely unknown outside programming communities. His most notable creation, FFmpeg, launched in 2000, is a multimedia framework that encodes, decodes, and streams audio and video files, becoming integral to platforms like YouTube, Netflix, and TikTok. In 2003, he developed QEMU, a virtualisation platform that revolutionized cloud computing by allowing multiple virtual machines to run on a single server. Bellard's contributions extend to mathematics, where he formulated a faster method for calculating digits of pi, achieving nearly 2.7 trillion digits. His 2011 project, JSLinux, showcased the ability to run Linux in a web browser, predating the current trend of browser-based applications. Beyond individual projects, he co-founded Amarisoft in 2012, focusing on software for 4G and 5G networks. Despite his profound impact on technology, Bellard has maintained a low public profile, emphasizing the importance of his work over personal recognition, making him a legendary figure among programmers.
