Serious projects at work

💬 Matrix

A new basis for open, interoperable, decentralised, end-to-end encrypted, real-time communication.

I currently work on the Matrix Rust SDK 🦀.

🕸 Wasmer

Wasmer is one of the major and leading WebAssembly runtime out there.

I have co-founded this project, and sadly left it. I've greatly contributed to the runtime itself:

  • Worked on 3 compilers: Singlepass, Cranelift and LLVM,
  • Worked on the 3 engines: JIT, shared object file, static object file, and the VM core,
  • Worked on the public API, documentation, examples, well… everything!

In addition to the runtime, I have created many bindings:

Notable fun projects I did there:

  • sonde-rs is a library to compile USDT probes into a Rust library,
  • llvm-custom-builds is a sandbox to product custom LLVM builds for various platforms,
  • loupe is a set of tools to analyse and to profile Rust code,
  • inline-c-rs, to write and to execute C code inside Rust,
  • and much more.

Automattic is the company behind WordPress.com, Tumblr, WooCommerce, JetPack, Akismet, Simplenote, Longreads, Gravatar etc.

One notable open source project I have worked on is a parser for Gutenberg, in Rust, that compiles to many targets: WebAssembly, C, PHP, Node.js etc. It led to a blog post series: From Rust to beyond.

Research

Pet projects

It is a set of modular, extensible and structured set of PHP libraries; aiming at being a bridge between industrial and research worlds. More than 165 millions installations, but projects are archived after 15 years of joy.

My wife and I have built a self-sufficient house, made of straw, wood and earth. This repository contains all the program I'm using for the home automation. But the most important readings are at lamaisonvivante.blog, our blog describing our adventure!

It is a truly open-source and free map browser.
