Jurriaan Pruis is a seasoned software engineer with 15 years of experience, specializing in Ruby backend development and a growing focus on Rust and embedded systems. He combines practical backend expertise—demonstrated by contributions to well-known projects like RuboCop—with hands-on embedded and IoT work extending Zigbee support in deCONZ. Equally comfortable refactoring core libraries and adding real-world device integrations, he brings a pragmatic approach to solving complex technical problems. A tinkerer at heart, he applies his electronics and 3D printing hobbyist experience (Prusa MK3s owner) to hardware-hacking projects, bridging software and hardware domains. Trained in Information Technology and theoretical physics, he blends formal analytical thinking with pragmatic engineering.
