Alan is a software developer with a background in electronics engineering, who lives in Namibia and spends his days coding JavaScript and composing choral pieces. He saved his first program onto a cassette tape and then proceeded to pop the tape into a stereo just to hear what it’d sound like. Turns out that’s a whole genre of music.
Lee Baillie herds Rubies and wrangles JavaScripts (occasionally also tending to the Rust garden) at Tilde in Portland, OR, mainly in the context of building Skylight, a Rails performance profiler. In their spare time, they enjoy hanging out with their dog JPEG, exploring the beautiful outdoors of the PNW, and lifting heavy things only to put them down again.
In our new “Project Highlight” keynote format we selected an important, interesting and successful projects/initiatives and invite their leaders & contributors to talk about their work, experiences, and the things they have learned along the way to benefit the larger Rust community.
In Rome Ashley Williams, Alan Kavishe and Lee Baillie will be presenting the Increasing Rust’s Reach project highlight.
