I am Xavier Ruiz, software developer. I grew up in Arizona 🏜️, but have moved to Boston after going to school here 🦞. I like to work with a bunch of different languages and technologies. Right now, I am trying to learn more Rust.
I help run Boston TS Club, a monthly meetup for all things web-dev tooling in the Boston area.
I genuinely like to program in my free time, so when people ask my hobbies I am always... embarassed! This is what I like to do.
In general, I am pretty good at TypeScript and Nix. If you have questions about getting started with Nix or TypeScript, I would be happy to help you! Please email me github@xav.ie and I will respond back within one week —— two weeks max!

- contribute more to open source, get at least three PRs merged
- lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim#1400 - fixes gitsigns commit virt_text alignment
- catgoose/nvim-colorizer.lua#160 - adds oklch support to nvim-colorizer!
- nolanderc/glsl_analyzer#78, nolanderc/glsl_analyzer#79, nolanderc/glsl_analyzer#80 - fixes tests, adds a format subcommand, and makes tab size formatting of the LSP configurable
- complete at least half of an advent of code, I already failed twice 😓!
