👋 Hi! I'm John Hawthorn

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

I'm a 💎 Ruby committer and on the 🚋 Rails core team. I like to spend as much time as possible working on performance. Hopefully I've made your code run faster too 🤗

Some of my open source projects:

🔍 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!

🗑 discard provides a simple soft-delete pattern for ActiveRecord.

🖼️ meh is a fast image viewer for X11 using raw XLib.

I dabble in electronics ⚡:

⌨️ I designed a USB controller to modernize Model M keyboards.

⌨️ I hand wired an ergodox-style keyboard

☕ I built an MQTT-enabled temperature controller for my espresso machine
