Hi, I'm VP of Community at the Zig Software Foundation and the host of Zig SHOWTIME, a live-streamed show that runs on my YouTube channel.
I'm also the creator of Software You Can Love, an in-person conference dedicated to celebrating the art of creating software for humans.
You can often find me livecoding and chatting about Zig on Twitch.
Open Source
Some Open Source software I created and maintain:
- Zine
- A static site generator written in Zig.
- Zig's Autodoc Tool
- The tool that generates documentation automatically for Zig projects and Zig's stdlib.
- bork
- A TUI Twitch chat client designed for livecoders.
- zig-okredis
- A zero-allocation Redis client for Zig that works both in blocking and async mode.
