Become a sponsor to Eric Shimizu Karbstein

Hi! My name is Eric, and I'm a software engineer! I've been passionate about open source since I first got in touch with programming. I've contributed to several open-source projects and communities over the years, some small, some big.

Currently, I'm mainly spending my non-work time doing Rust-based projects and libraries and I hope you all have a great time using them!

What I've done

  • I've ported the unified FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and exFAT linux kernel driver for up to Linux 4.14
  • I've contributed to the Rust crate bstr by improving the Display implementation of the exposed types
  • I've contributed to rust-analyzer on the semantic highlight front
  • I've contributed to the Rust crate libc adding missing items (types, function, and constants) for NetBSD, Solaris, Illumos, OpenBSD, and Haiku
  • I created sugars, a collection of Rust macros to make some tasks easier.
  • I created a coreutils project, that aims at supporting the POSIX specification basic requirements, plus common and useful features present in other implementations of the utility
  • I created JanetRS, a Rust crate that provides high-level bindins for the Janet programming language C API, allowing users to embed Janet to their program or create Janet native libraries
  • I created rbitset, a Rust library that defines a bit set, i.e. a set able to hold a fixed amount of booleans in an array of integers

What I'm working on

  • I'm actively developing rbitset
  • I'm actively developing JanetRS
  • I'm actively developing coreutils
  • I'm actively developing a libc written in Rust (closed for now because I'm still toying with the idea)
  • I'm maintaining sugars

What sponsorship does

Aside from what the tiers get you, sponsoring me enables me to keep finding ways to contribute to open-source, both in code, and in community work, and it helps me justify spending time on this outside of the scope of my day job!
