Just a former biologist who got bored enough with Excel to start writing scripts to automate that process. Next thing, I'm optimizing floating-point parsers cross-compiled to a Raspberry Pi. Thinking is overrated and we should do less of it.
All of my projects are done on my own time, and are not related to my day job, so I appreciate your understanding that reviewing and merging PRs and feature enhancements may take some time.
A few of my accomplishments:
- Author of the Rust core library float parser.
- Creator of rust-lexical, which implements fast float parsing and writing algorithms, used in jiter, arrow, rust-python, databend, (formerly polars) and more.
- Designed the digit comparison algorithm for unambiguous floating-point parsing for near-halfway cases, used in fast float and rust-lexical.
- Designed stylish, customizable light and dark Qt stylesheets.
- Maintainer for cross-rs, for minimal setup cross-compilation on Rust.
- Maintainer of a fork of fast-float with security patches, used in polars and more..
- is unable to think during the summer heat.
Some other notable projects using lexical or fast-float2 include:
- hifitime
- merde
- noodles
- pagefind
- swc
- qlty
- GraphQL
- posixutils-rs
- jsonb
- boa
- qsv
- serde_json (a minified, vendored version)
