Top SchoolJeremy Woertink is a seasoned software engineer and former Marine with 17 years of experience building web and mobile applications and leading teams to deliver results. As former CTO of Namechk and a long-time self-employed developer, he blends hands-on coding (Ruby, JavaScript, and Crystal) with pragmatic leadership and a bias for getting things done. He’s an active open-source contributor—core member of the Lucky framework and contributor to the Crystal language—where he’s improved HTTP clients, error handling, and logging to make systems more reliable. Based in Las Vegas, he balances weekend hackathons and a side video-game and web-talkshow projects with playing in a band, reflecting a creative, multidisciplinary approach to problem solving. Notably, he prefers choosing the best language for the job and isn’t afraid of 12-hour days when engaged in work he enjoys.

The Crystal Programming Language
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:2 reviews, 7 commits, 6 PRs in 1 year 7 months
Contributions summary:Jeremy primarily contributed to the HTTP client library within the Crystal programming language repository. Their work involved fixing typos, enhancing the HTTP client by adding new functionalities, such as the `put_form` and `patch_form` methods, and refactoring existing code to improve clarity and functionality, particularly for form handling. They also addressed issues related to method calls within `HTTP::Params` and made corrections in documentation to accurately reflect the proper usage of `Time.parse` and renamed an alias to avoid overriding the standard type.
