Ahoy!

My name is Bilal. I am a student at the TU-Dresden currently pursuing my master's. I do all kinds of things in different programming languages. Nowadays, my focus is very much on Rust (and some Python).

I work on many open-source projects trying to bring new ideas into the existing ecosystem.

This includes but is not limited to:

• deer: a fail-slow deserialization framework (in cooperation with HASH)
• error-stack: related errors (in cooperation with HASH)
• antsi: ANSI escape sequences with const styling (in cooperation with HASH)
• turbine: block protocol type code generator for Rust
• contributing to several projects, where possible

I still have many more ideas for different new projects currently limited by the time I have available to spend on them. Those include (but are not limited to):

• Rust: reed (deer but for serialization)
• Rust: rich/charm (but in Rust)
• Rust: general purpose datalog parser and evaluator
• Typescript: Easy redux interface for graph structures
• Rust: deer OpenAPI spec library (blueprint)
• Rust: VHS recording of HTTP interactions for testing
• Rust: lightweight task runner (disponent)
• Rust: label printer designer and printer for ZPL/ZPL II printers
• Rust: stable TypeId for types with references, using a proc-macro
• Rust: modern no-std const enabled standards compliant URL parser
• Rust: modern no-std correct ISO8601 parser/formatter

With a sponsorship, you directly impact my ability to spend more time on different (and new) projects, as most of the development currently occupies my sparse free time.
