Richard Schneeman
Richard has spent the last quarter of his life researching how to bridge the gap between projects that want contributors and people that want to contribute. He has conducted interviews, paired with developers, and made hundreds of personal contributions. He is most known for helping sixty-thousand developers contribute to open source through his platform, CodeTriage.
He is a maintainer of libraries with over 1.9+ billion downloads. He currently helps maintain the Puma webserver, a high performance threaded webserver in Ruby. He contributes to high profile projects including the Ruby language and created several successful open source projects such as derailed benchmarks with over 2.8 thousand stars on GitHub. In addition to Ruby, Richard enjoys writing Rust and "any programming language that will get the job done."
Richard lives in Austin, Texas, with his partner, two kids, and two dogs.
