Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Kehl is a seasoned software engineer with 13 years of experience who now focuses on Rust as a technical reviewer and open-source developer, preferring remote or hybrid roles. He brings deep back-end and database expertise from long-term work on web applications and enterprise systems—ranging from PostgreSQL and SQLite integration in phpMyFAQ to full‑stack contributions for the Selenium project. His background includes building microservices, e-learning platforms and secure healthcare applications, and he’s comfortable across Java, PHP, C++ and Linux ops as well as modern Rust toolchains. Notably, he combines hands-on implementation (e.g., adding SQLite support and database-specific datetime handling) with code review and course reviewing for technical publishers, making him both a builder and an arbiter of quality. Based in Olympia, WA, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a strong open-source ethos and a preference for roles strictly centered on Rust.
