πŸ‘‹ Hi! I'm John Hawthorn

I'm a staff software engineer on the Ruby Architecture team here at GitHub :octocat:.

I'm a πŸ’Ž Ruby committer and on the πŸš‹ Rails core team. I like to spend as much time as possible working on performance. Hopefully I've made your code run faster too πŸ€—

A few Ruby projects I've made:

Some of my non-ruby open source projects:

  • πŸ” fzy is a fast and simple fuzzy text finder for the terminal. I wote fzy wanting a faster and more consistent algorithm than was available at the time, other tools have since adopted my algorithm. Fun fact: If you press t to find files in a GitHub repo that's fzy!
  • πŸ–ΌοΈ meh is a fast image viewer for X11 using raw XLib.

I dabble in electronics ⚑:
