  • I've been involved with Rust for about a decade now, since 2013, pushing my first crate to crates.io back in 2015. Most of my open source work these days is around Rust (and usually involves something numeric).
  • I have contributed to the Rust project itself, porting Daniel Lemire's float parsing algorithm to Rust into fast-float-rust crate and testing it extensively, which has then been integrated into Rust core by Alex Huszagh. As a result, Rust has one of the fastest built-in float parsers out of all programming languages.
  • Author and maintainer of hdf5-rust ("HDF5 for Rust") project.
  • Author of qoi, one of the fastest implementations of the QOI image format decoder which is now integrated into image-rs.
  • Contributor to/maintainer of a number of other Rust crates (like polars).
  • Contributor to pybind11 C++ library and author of record-array support in pybind11.
