John Carmack comes to mind
Jeff Minter. If you know, you know.
This is an easy one. Chris Sawyer. Created multiple Tycoon games from scratch, in Assembly.

I don’t know many, so I’ll throw in Concerned Ape.
Ken Thompson.

John Cristy’s creation of ImageMagick probably qualifies

The guy who created curl.
