In July 2020, I left my job to start working on the build service I've wanted for 16 years, in Rust: no change to your workflow, cooperates with existing build systems, handles multi-stage builds, works with any language, and the first version will support offloading builds to fast cloud systems to compile 12-120x faster than a developer laptop.

My goal is to make waiting on a build as antiquated as the sound of a dial-up modem. I expect to launch an alpha in 2021; please email or DM me if you're interested in trying it out.

I'm a developer on the Rust project. I co-lead the Rust language team, and work on the Rust library team and the Cargo package manager. I care about building welcoming, inclusive communities that lift people up. I love building solutions to systemic problems.

Sponsorship is my primary means of support; your support helps me work on Rust and build systems full-time. Thank you so much for your help.

Leading Company

You know who you are. Your business and livelihood builds atop software that I work on. You care deeply about how software gets built and maintained. You'd like to talk to me directly, in depth, about what you need and how what I'm working on could help you with that. I want to know what you're dealing with regularly and how to make it better. We've already spoken about upcoming unreleased projects, and you're excited about them and want to help them happen sooner. You're relying heavily enough on software or services I've built that you'd like regular direct communication with me, including my personal cell number.
