I'm Matt Valentine-House. I've been writing Ruby since 2007, contributing to the language since 2020, and I've been a Ruby core committer since March 2023. Currently I'm at Shopify in the Ruby Infrastructure team working full time on improving MRI (Matz' Ruby Interpreter - the reference Ruby implementation, also known as CRuby).
Besides hacking Ruby, I brew beer, build keyboards, watch anime, drink a lot of coffee and listen to loads of music. I'm also learning japanese. でも上手じゃないです。
So expect content about all of that stuff, in varying degrees.

I am not currently listening to any songs by anyone from any album.
