I maintain a foundational library in the crates.io ecosystem, have contributed to both the Rust compiler and standard library on multiple occasions, have authored multiple RFCs, received a fellowship from the Foundation, and have worked at companies (using Rust!) ranging from a small startup to Tesla.

In this time I have worked on codebases as large as (approximately) one million lines of code, bringing existing code up to Rust standards when it wasn’t already, enforcing standards and idioms, and teaching others what should and should not be done, explaining why along the way.
