Résumé: https://www.jimmycuadra.com/jimmy_cuadra_resume.pdf

Email: jimmy@jimmycuadra.com

I was laid off by Cisco Meraki last summer, where I spent four years as a technical lead for the cloud side of the wireless products. I have experience in both web development and cloud infrastructure roles.

I have worked for years in open source software development. I created and ran two notable open source projects: Lita, a ChatOps framework for Ruby (https://github.com/litaio/lita) which is used by many companies for automating internal operations and workflows, and Ruma, an implementation of the Matrix protocol in Rust (https://ruma.dev/) which went on to become the basis for the official Rust SDK for Matrix.

My ideal role would be building software targeting other developers, either as a member of a developer tools team, or for a company whose products are made for developers. I'm also drawn to companies building "neutral" utilities whose value is fairly self-evident: Things like PagerDuty and Stripe which are generally useful and provide the infrastructure needed for other things to work.

I would love to use Rust professionally, but I'm fine with other languages, too. I'd also be very happy to work on a product with an amount of open source code, given my background working on OSS projects.

This could in turn lead to Synapse pulling in Ruma as a dependency. Meanwhile, Rust is already a huge part of the Matrix org’s fundamental tech stack, covering encryption, authentication and wysiwyg editing,

I got a 404 there, but this link works for me!

Nice! For ruma we do a very similar thing, but with the endpoint definitions being usable for both client & server side, custom macros to make it all more manageable, and with structs with public fields (#[non_exhaustive] for forwards compat) instead of builders.

I'm delighted to release Jotsy — a self-hosted, free and open-source (Apache-2.0) note taking app, built with Skytable, Axum and Tokio. The most important goal of Jotsy is to be simple and focus on the most important thing, notemaking.
