I am a professional programmer working at Cloudflare. I have a passion for improving processes - especially build processes - and mentoring new contributors.

I currently live in Austin, Texas.

SURPRISE IT'S ME, the unsafe code gremlin who Writes The Docs and Designs APIs For Collections And Pointers. You may know me from my other work such as "The Rustonomicon", "Learn Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists", and . I am on the best Rust Team: The (Libs) Alumni Team, which means I get to holler about random garbage and people take me seriously without expecting me to do any work! Wait why am I doing the work to give this talk.

Michael has been a Rustacean since the day version 1.0 was released back in 2015 and has been an active member of the community since then. Currently they work at Fastly working on the Compute@Edge platform, but when they're not working on that you can find them hiking through the wilds of rural Pennsylvania, working on some cursed side projects in Rust, writing the occasional blog posts, or just cracking jokes on Twitter left and right, much to the dismay of all those that follow them.

Alice Cecile is one of the maintainers of Bevy, a thriving open source Rust game engine. When not writing RFCs or merging PRs, she enjoys designing games, growing plants and doing mad science.

Iryna is a Rust engineer at Apollo GraphQL working on apollo-rs. Throughout their career they have given talks at conferences around the world about their various adventures in the world of programming, including RustConf, JSConfAU, NodeFest Tokyo and JSConf Colombia. Irina also makes [smol] programming zines ("A smol Reference, and a few Pointers on Deref, AsRef and Borrow", "RUST! #[proc_macros]", "Rust + Wasm"), pets their cats Chashu and Nori, and grows many edible and inedible plants.

William (Firstyear) is a senior software engineer at SUSE Labs Australia. In his day job he specialises in identity and access management technologies, especially LDAP, SCIM, OpenID and Webauthn. This led him to become the maintainer of Rust in SUSE and OpenSUSE, and he now maintains and guides the direction of Rust in these distributions. When not at a computer, he can probably be found dancing on a pole.

Julie Wang was the first engineer hired at Parallel Systems and is the technical lead for the perception team. Julie has been writing Rust for two years, and previously wrote flight code in C++ and VHDL at SpaceX. Julie is super excited about using Rust to build technology that helps address climate change.
