    I'm a student, and am looking for a good internship experience in the first half of 2024. I am currently a Google Summer of Code contributor at the Tor Project, and have contributed to Arti, the Rust rewrite of Tor in C, working beside the Arti devs.

    I'm particularly interested in open source, computer networking and associated software. A while back I hacked around and built a peer to peer file transfer program to learn Rust, including the file transfer protocol too (you can check it out on https://github.com/gotlougit/p2p-file-transfer or on https://git.sr.ht/~gotlou/p2p-file-transfer). I did this mostly being inspired by Tailscale and also out of frustration of how getting uncompressed photos from friends was a mess.

    I love learning new things and am a fast learner. Currently I am writing a more secure, drop-in SSH agent replacement (at https://github.com/gotlougit/sshield) which encrypts SSH keys and unlocks them with a master password, with planned features including using Linux sandboxing mechanisms such as Landlock or seccomp-bpf to make the agent process less prone to RCEs.

  • rust_slvs

    A geometric constraint solver for Rust, powered by SolveSpace

  • Hi, I'm a software developer and UX researcher with five years of experience at a digital agency. Passionate about solving engineering problems and writing clean, maintainable code. I'm looking for a role that will allow me to work within a cross-functional team and be involved throughout the product lifecycle.

    Recently, I've created a rust library for geometric constraint solving (https://github.com/thekakkun/rust_slvs), and am using it to create a parametric vector editor powered by Tauri!

      Location: Toronto, ON

    I've been using Go as my primary language for the last seven years, although I don't overly care about the specific language and have experience with a wide variety of tools and languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, C, JavaScript, Lua, and probably some more. While I've mainly focused on backend in the last few years, I also have written plenty of frontend code over the years, from the "pre-jQuery" days to VueJS.

    In the last few years I mainly focused on GoatCounter (https://www.goatcounter.com) with the occasional contract job, but I'm keen to start working on something new for the longer term.

    I've got quite a bit of code on my GitHub, so you can take a look at that if you want: https://github.com/arp242/

  • FunPizzaShop

  • automation-service

    automation-service is a tool for setting up simple-to-complicated home automations, like triggering lighting to go on when you enter a room, or reading from and responding to sensors--and much more. Currently very alpha

  • Location: NYC area

    Remote: yes

    Willing to relocate: no

    Technologies: most recently, Haskell, Lua, PureScript, Ruby (on Rails), JS, Postgres/RDS/Redshift, a bunch of other AWS services...much more.

    My interests lately are centered around home automation/IoT, as I've been working on my own home automation tool (https://github.com/ddellacosta/automation-service), and I've also been trying to get familiar with LLM tech via some bindings to llama.cpp in Haskell (https://github.com/ddellacosta/llama.cpp-bindings)--I hope to use that in my home automation project at some point.

    All of that aside, I'm an experienced web developer, I've worked in a large number of domains over the course of my career, and I'm always interested in picking up new things!

    I'm looking for full-time employment but would consider contract or part-time as well.
