Hi, I'm Peter 👋

I have authored and/or currently maintain hundreds of open source libraries, including many you might use (as a developer or a consumer of the internet).

Despite not being "into crypto", I was recently challenged to build a crypto scanner using React. Didn't get the job, but I am proud of the result, and you can check out the demo!

I maintain the following RubyGems:

• appraisal-rb / appraisal2 -
• Dynamoid / dynamoid -
• galtzo-floss / flag_shih_tzu -
• galtzo-floss / sanitize_email -
• omniauth / omniauth-jwt -
• omniauth / omniauth-identity -
• rdp / os -
• ruby-oauth / oauth -
• ruby-oauth / oauth2 -
• ruby-oauth / version_gem -
• ruby-openid / omniauth-openid -
• ruby-openid / rack-openid -
• ruby-openid / ruby-openid -
• many benchmarking, rails, resque, rspec, rubocop plugins & more... (in details below)

inherit_gem:
  rubocop-lts: rubocop-lts.yml # for ruby + rspec

TargetRubyVersion

I'm attempting to document all of the logos for the FLOSS projects I'm involved in, with their attendant licesnses and copyrights, here: logos.galtzo.com. It has been a multi-year effort hunting down the original creators for some of these logos, and documenting the conditions under which they can be used. I'd love to hear if this is useful in your projects!

I was laid off in a March 2025 RIF, and am looking for my next sponsor and my next role.

Want to chat about open source, or any of my projects? Join my FLOSS discord.

Or join the Ruby Friends Squad on Daily.dev

Want to pay me for work? I'm available!

Thanks to all my sponsors across any of the donation platforms! Special thanks to my biggest sponsor HealthSherpa!
