I am a programmer that has frequently contributed to open source in my free time over the course of 20 years. Today, I primarily contribute to the Rust library ecosystem, and I've been a member of the Rust project since the creation of the teams in 2015. These days, I am on the
Library API Team
where we are responsible for evolving the standard library API. I am also on the
Regex Crate Team
, which is responsible for maintaining
Rust's regex library
.
In addition to my capacity as a member of the Rust project, I work on a number of other open source projects. Here are a few:
- ripgrep
is a program for recursively searching directories using a regex. Its marquee features are speed and using smart filtering by default (e.g., respecting your gitignores) to improve the relevance of the results. It
has powered VS Code's "search in files" feature since 2017
.
- csv
is an extremely fast CSV parser library with Serde support.
- walkdir
is a library for recursive directory traversal with all of the fixings you might expect.
- ignore
is a library that provides a very fast parallel recursive directory traversal implementation while respecting gitignore rules. It's used by
Cargo
,
Tauri
,
Pijul
,
fd
and
Tokei
.
- bstr
is a library that brings string operations to byte slices. It's used by
Artichoke
,
SQLx
and
gitoxide
, among others.
- memchr
and
aho-corasick
provide best-in-class SIMD routines for single and multi substring search, respectively.
memchr
in particular is used ubiquitously in the ecosystem.
I also maintain a
blog
where I occasionally discuss my work in more depth.
By providing a recurring sponsorship, you'll help to continue to incentivize my work on the above projects and new projects in the future. Alternatively, one time contributions as a "thank you" for past work are an excellent way to show appreciation. Note that there are no direct rewards provided as I am doing this on the side.
Sponsorships are for me personally and are not affiliated or connected with my employer in any way.
