Yohan Boogaert - Rust Developer

I started working with Rust in 2020 at RustMinded, where I built a strong foundation in the language and the open-source ecosystem. Since then, I’ve contributed to WebAssembly and Rust tools, worked on rewriting a data query engine to improve performance, or helped on the development of a cybersecurity platform for analyzing vulnerabilities on multiple systems. Along the way, I’ve gained practical experience with JavaScript and TypeScript, working in team environments to deliver effective solutions. I’m also an active contributor to open-source projects and rely on Linux for my development workflow.

You can find me on GitHub and Bluesky. You can also send me an email.
