I have worked for years in open source software development. I created and ran two notable open source projects: Lita, a ChatOps framework for Ruby (https://github.com/litaio/lita) which is used by many companies for automating internal operations and workflows, and Ruma, an implementation of the Matrix protocol in Rust (https://ruma.dev/) which went on to become the basis for the official Rust SDK for Matrix.
My most recent role was at Cisco Meraki, where I spent four years as a technical lead for the cloud side of the wireless products. I have experience in both web development and cloud infrastructure roles.
My ideal role would be building software targeting other developers, either as a member of a developer tools team, or for a company whose products are made for developers. I'm also drawn to companies building "neutral" utilities whose value is fairly self-evident: Things like PagerDuty and Stripe which are generally useful and provide the infrastructure needed for other things to work.
I would love to use Rust professionally, but I'm fine with other languages, too. I'd also be very happy to work on a product with an amount of open source code, given my background working on OSS projects.
I was laid off by Cisco Meraki last summer, where I spent four years as a technical lead for the cloud side of the wireless products. I have experience in both web development and cloud infrastructure roles.

Submitting this re: the recent discussion about PGP alternatives. It seems right in line with the types of tools that were being suggested for replacing specific use cases of PGP. Written by Tony Arcieri, who is well-regarded in the cryptography community.
I'd also be interested to hear Thomas clarify this. I saw a recent thread on Twitter where he and bascule were talking about it and it still wasn't super clear, but one specific point I recall is that Matrix has a significant amount of metadata stored on the server side which constructs a social graph. As opposed to something like Signal which has close to nothing stored on the server.
To me this seems like an issue of use case. If my goal is to be able to talk to my family and friends, and I don't care that it's known that I'm talking to them as long as the contents of the messages are private, that is fine for me. For a case with more stringent requirements, I can see Matrix not being a good recommendation in its current design.
I guess one difference here is that often major implementations of HTTPS make the best choices (like operating systems, major browsers, major web server software, etc.), whereas with something like PGP, everyone is using GPG which has only one implementation which is known to be terrible.
I don't know how I never heard about 1Password X. The last time I attempted to switch from macOS to Linux, the lack of 1Pasword was one of the biggest things that made it hard for me.
That said, a browser-based 1Password is really not what I want. I just really don't try web technologies for keeping my passwords safe. If I really was going to use it, this might be the only instance in which I'd actually prefer an Electron version to using it my main browser, just for the additional isolation.
Ben from 1Password here. We offer a couple options for Linux: https://support.1password.com/explore/linux/
Hopefully we can continue to expand upon these offerings. Our ops people are primarily Linux users, so we are aware of the challenges.
