Hello Devtalk, hello @AstonJ :smiley:

I helped Aston manage metaruby.com in what seems likes decades ago.

Short intro:

  • I have a PhD in Computer Science, specialized in high-performance computing
    • For this I created a Ruby implementation of CSP (Communicating Sequential Processes) called Emit.
    • I also helped shape the work of Bohrium, a virtual machine for automatic parallelization of NumPy code, as well as created a Ruby front-end for it, which beats the STL by orders of magnitude.
  • I am currently a senior software engineer at Elastic.co, where I create connectors for our newly released Workplace Search, written in Ruby.

I want to be more engaged in open source and the open source community, maybe dabble in various low-level languages, such as Rust.

Somehow I need to find out how to get more hours out of the day. I’ve heard good things about bullet journaling, maybe somebody has advice on how to start here?
