I've worked on a diverse set of open source projects over the past 15 years. These days, I spend most of my open source time working in Rust.

Rust projects

  • I help maintain
    • rustc_version, a library for querying the compiler version
    • chrono, a popular date and time library for Rust
    • rustls, a pure-Rust implementation of the TLS protocol. I also help maintain rustls-native-certs, tokio-rustls and hyper-rustls.
    • trust-dns crates, an implementation of the DNS protocol in Rust
    • indicatif, a CLI progress bar library
    • bb8, a full-featured async connection pool
    • flamegraph, a simple cargo subcommand for generating flamegraph
    • redis, the most popular Redis client library
    • Askama, a type-safe compiled Jinja-like templating language for Rust which comes with integrations for most popular web frameworks.
    • Quinn, a Rust implementation of the QUIC protocol (a modern TCP replacement), available with a low-level sans-IO API or a higher-level futures-based API.
    • bb8, a full-featured async (tokio-based) connection pool, with integrations for Redis and Postgres; the ecosystem provides many more integrations.
    • gcp_auth, easy to use and flexible OAuth authentication for the Google Cloud platform.
    • opentelemetry-stackdriver, the OpenTelemetry integration with Google's Traces implementation.
    • flamegraph, a Rust-powered flamegraph generator with built-in support for Cargo projects.
  • I have contributed several features to Cargo:
  • I have written two accepted RFCs:

Non-Rust projects

  • rnc2rng, a RELAX NG syntax transpiler written in Python
  • abna, a Python library to get mutation data from the ABN Amro bank site
  • AreWeMeetingYet, a simple way to communicate times across timezones

Other work

  • Contributed code to ring, rcgen
  • I am a Gentoo Linux developer (though not very active these days)
  • Used to be a committer on couchdb-python and Mercurial
