<p>I've worked on a diverse set of open source projects over the past 15 years. These days, I spend most of my open source time working in Rust.</p>
<h2>Projects I started</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/djc/askama">Askama</a> is a type-safe compiled Jinja-like templating language for Rust. It aims to be user-friendly, reliable and efficient and is quite <a href="https://crates.io/categories/template-engine">popular</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/djc/quinn">Quinn</a> is Rust implementation of the <a href="https://quicwg.github.io/">QUIC</a> protocol (a modern TCP replacement), available with a low-level sans-IO API or a higher-level futures-based API.</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/djc/tokio-imap">tokio-imap and imap-proto</a> are a tokio-based IMAP client and base IMAP protocol library in Rust. imap-proto is used by both <a href="https://github.com/jonhoo/rust-imap">rust-imap</a> and <a href="https://github.com/async-email/async-imap">async-imap</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/djc/template-benchmarks-rs">template-benchmarks-rs</a> maintains a suite of benchmarks and results for the most popular Rust template engines to verify performance of different engines.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Other Rust projects</h2>
<ul>
<li>I maintain:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/mitsuhiko/indicatif">indicatif</a>, a CLI progress bar library</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/djc/bb8">bb8</a>, a full-featured async connection pool</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/flamegraph-rs/flamegraph">flamegraph</a>, a simple cargo subcommand for generating flamegraph</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/Kimundi/rustc-version-rs">rustc_version</a>, a library for querying the compiler version</li>
<li><a href="https://crates.io/crates/skeptic">skeptic</a>, a way to test Rust code contained in Markdown files</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I help maintain:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/ctz/rustls">rustls</a>, a pure-Rust implementation of the TLS protocol</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/bluejekyll/trust-dns">trust-dns</a> crates, an implementation of the DNS protocol in Rust</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I have contributed several features to Cargo:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/unstable.html#namespaced-features">Namespaced features</a> (unfortunately still unstable)</li>
<li>Initial minimum supported Rust version support (<a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2495-min-rust-version.md">RFC 2495</a>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I have written two accepted RFCs:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2338-type-alias-enum-variants.md">Accessing enum variants through type alias</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3114">Adding traits to the edition 2021 prelude</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Non-Rust projects</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/djc/rnc2rng">rnc2rng</a>, a RELAX NG syntax transpiler written in Python</li>

<li><a href="https://github.com/djc/awmy">AreWeMeetingYet</a>, a simple way to communicate times across timezones</li>
</ul>
<h2>Other work</h2>
