Adam works as a security-focused software developer at the Rust Foundation working on ecosystem security, especially around improving supply chain security for crates.io and Rust releases.

Professionally, his history includes stints as a developer at New Relic, deviantART, and Sourcegraph, while his open source work includes being a project member of Rust and PHP.

In his spare time, he plays cricket, kayaks, speaks Spanish extremely badly, throws tennis balls for his golden retriever, and tries to convince people that his Australian accent is actually flawless Canadian.

A generalist programmer with almost 20 years professional software engineering experience.

Picked up Rust around 2017. Contributions to open source and started using it for electronics projects in 2020 during the lockdowns. Trying my best to convince employers to invest in rust is a long running side-quest.

Heya 👋! Just like you I've spent time plenty of time dabbling with computers.

What got myself into programming was discovering how to modify a game called Little Fighter 2, and it was fun. After working with computers for a substantial period, I began learning to connect and communicate better with people, and try to put the fun back into what we do for work.

My ever growing list of "beginner hobbies" include running, art, sewing, and piano.

I'm an all-round software engineer, but I love building things. Things that have an effect on the world around us. A lot of my professional work is in the systems and embedded space. I also enjoy making TV, videos and film.

Sophia has been a long-time advocate of better programming languages and tools. She helped create TypeScript and later joined Mozilla to work on compiler errors, IDE support, and the larger Rust ergonomics initiative. She also served on the Rust core team and helped create the Rust Leadership Council.

As a Rust pioneer since 2011, I've been deeply involved with the language from its earliest days before version 1.0. My compiler contributions have focused particularly on SIMD optimizations and MIRI improvements, helping strengthen Rust's performance and safety guarantees. I've also worked extensively on Rust's internationalization (I18N) efforts, making the project site's language translations available to global users and helping expand Rust's accessibility worldwide.
I have authored numerous open source Rust libraries focused on distributed systems and database management, providing the community with battle-tested solutions for production environments. These libraries reflect my deep expertise in building reliable, high-performance distributed systems in Rust.
