GitHub Sponsors Profile

Hello 🙂 I'm Lukas and I do open source stuff, mostly in Rust.
I'm part of the Rust community since 2015 and I aim to create libraries that are delightful and easy to use; a task that includes optimizing APIs for robustness, simplicity and performance, but also writing good documentation. These are all challenges I enjoy tackling. I also like trying to come up with novel ideas for libraries and other projects.
This sponsorship page exists for individuals who want to show their appreciation or for companies that benefited from my work. Open source supply chain health is an incredibly important issue and I think crowd-sourced sponsoring is a good way to tackle it.
What I work on

I develop and maintain several Rust libraries (≈1M downloads/month). See below for some examples.
I contribute to Rust directly via code patches and a couple of RFCs, mostly related to the standard library. I was also part of the Rust library team for some time.
I love teaching: I'm one of the StackOverflow top users for the rust tag, i.e. answering and asking lots of questions. I also held a full university lecture on Rust (in German) which is freely available.
Contributions to random external projects!
