Yorick Peterse
I am a software developer, cat enthusiast, and a geek in general living in The Netherlands. I primarily work with Ruby, Rust, and at times I also (reluctantly) use C/C++. I'm currently employed by GitLab where I work on improving performance of GitLab. I am currently not interested in any job offers.
In my spare time I mostly work on free and open source software. Some of these projects include (but are not limited to):
- Rubinius: an implementation of the Ruby programming language
- Oga: an XML/HTML parser for Ruby with XPath and CSS support
- ruby-ll: an LL(1) parser generator for Ruby
- ruby-lint: a static code analysis tool for Ruby, capable of detecting undefined methods, incorrect type usage, etc
- rubysl: Ruby standard library for Rubinius, most notably rubysl-socket which is a pure Ruby implementation of the Ruby Socket standard library.
- Inko: a gradually typed, object-oriented programming language focusing on concurrency and safety; inspired by Ruby, Smalltalk, Erlang, and Rust.
In the past I've also worked on OpeNER, Ramaze, Pry and various other, smaller projects. I'm also an avid practitioner of Krav Maga, prior to that I practised Wing Chun Kung Fu and Taekwondo.
