About Me

I'm a software developer from The Netherlands, with over a decade of software development experience. I work at GitLab as a Staff Backend Engineer.

I'm interested in the development and theory of compilers, virtual machines, garbage collectors, and programming languages. I'm also the author of the Inko programming language. If you'd like to support my work on free and open-source software, you can do so using GitHub Sponsors.

You can contact me via Email, Twitter, or Reddit; though I prefer Email. You can also find me on GitLab and GitHub. Please do not contact me if you are a recruiter.

My GPG public key is EB691AC9 registered using Email address yorick@yorickpeterse.com. Other keys registered on my name are no longer in use.
