Hi, I'm Sam, a Berlin-based software engineer working on open source projects, with a soft spot for Rust. I enjoy solving hard problems across performance, scalability and distributed systems.
Right now, I'm spending most of my time building Enroute, open-source headless git infrastructure built for agentic workloads.
Besides this, I like working on small building blocks that do one thing and do
it well, with a focus on reliability and performance. This has led me to
maintaining the crc32fast and gearhash crates, as well as the rusha npm
package.
In the past, I contributed to early async Rust (futures, hyper and tokio)
and rusoto, the unofficial AWS SDK for
Rust before there was an official one. I also started
deps.rs in 2018, and handed it over to the maintainers
who run it today.
