My Contributions

I’ve always loved being involved in Opensource projects and communities. My first opensource contribution was a small spelling correction in RSpec. Seeing my name listed in the change notes was exhilarating. A lot has changed since then, but I still get the same enjoyment contributing to projects that other developers use. Here is a list of communities and projects I’ve worked on:

Apache CouchDB

I am on the Project Management Commitee. My notible contributions are: 1. The [[Secondary Indexes]] for the attempted CouchDB on FoundationDB 2. Design and implementation of CouchDB Partitions 3. Mango query improvements 4. Architecture design and development of Fauxton the CouchDB user interface

Mobc

Current maintainer of Mobc. Mobc is a connection pool library for rust projects. During my time at Prisma, I rewrote the internals of Mobc to use Semaphores instead of channels. This fixed a lot of connection issues and bugs during high usage.

Tigris DB

I designed and developed the [[Secondary Indexes]] and background queue and worker system.

Prisma ORM

I worked at Prisma and contributed towards the Prisma query engine. My most notable contribution was rewriting Interactive Transactions using an Actor model design. This really improved the performance and reliability of the transactions.

PouchDB

PouchDB is a javascript implementation of CouchDB written in javascript. This was the first real database project. I did a lot of work around the Mango query implementation and the PouchDB express server.
