  • pzip

    A blazing fast concurrent zip archiver and extractor.

  • Github: https://github.com/ybirader

    ---

    I'm a backend engineer with a deep interest in systems and infrastructure. Most recently, I've been working on Symphony, a serverless runtime designed to make it easy for developers to build collaborative web applications. It runs on Kubernetes and is written in JavaScript/TypeScript.

    Before that, I worked as a freelancer- clients included 37signals, where I worked in the Security, Performance, and Infrastructure (SIP) team.

    I'm also the author of pzip (https://github.com/ybirader/pzip), a blazing fast concurrent zip archiver and extractor, that is 15x faster than Info-Zip (zip(1)). It's written in Go.

    My degree is in Physics, during which I also published research on the dynamics of extra-solar planetary systems.

    Other interests include long-distance cycling and reading classics.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • crumb

    The Crumb Programming Language

  • Hi! I'm Liam, a freshman at UBC, aiming to specialize in Computer Science/Physics. Looking for a software related internship in the summer. I've been programming for 7 years, and built dozens of projects, most of them can be found on my Github (https://github.com/liam-ilan).

    Over the summer, I built Crumb (https://github.com/liam-ilan/crumb), a programming language from scratch, which was front paged here a couple months ago! I'm also a member of the firmware team at UBC Formula Electric, working on porting firmware for the Front Sensor Module to our next car.

    Open to doing just around anything you need me to do. If you have an opening, or any advice, hit me up :D

  • tango-problem

    Personal experiments with genetic algorithms and neuroevolution, in Rust, with the Bevy engine.

  • I am primarily looking for a summer internship from May to August 2024! However, as I am 2 semesters away from obtaining my BSc in bio-informatics, I am also interested in a full time position as long as my employer understands my situation as a soon-to-graduate student. I am looking for anything tech-related.

    Location: Montréal, Québec, Canada. Je peux aussi parler français!

    Remote: Yes, but fully onsite is also good

    Willing to relocate: Yes, across Canada

    Technologies: My favourite programming language is Rust, I do all my open source contributions in it now! I am currently working on porting rgbds, a Game Boy compiler and linker, from C++ to Rust. Tagged unions are great to define token types in the parsers used in its structure, but C++ makes it hard to write them with its syntax! Rust enums make it much easier.

    Aside from Rust, I have done UX and web gamedev with JavaScript as a hobby for two years. I use Linux Mint as my daily OS, and have academic experience in machine learning libraries such as Scikit Learn | Gensim | Tensorflow | PyTorch | Keras.

    Résumé/CV: I don't want to post it online for all to see, but it's available on request. I can speak a little about myself, though!

    I have never actually worked in tech. It has been my passion for a very long time, but as my family background is in agriculture and craftsmanship, working with computers was poorly regarded. It's only in the last 2 years that I've actually really settled on doing what I actually enjoy for a living! Due to this, my greatest work experiences are in leather chemistry in a fur tanning facility, and in entomological research for a federal Canadian agriculture scientific centre.

    One of my favourite personal projects was designing a neuroevolution reinforcement learning system in Rust, you can read about it here: https://github.com/Oneirical/tango-problem
