San Francisco

I'm Wouter van Oortmerssen from The Netherlands (living in San Francisco).

I'm the maintainer of FlatBuffers (a serialization system), Lobster (a programming language), TreeSheets ("hierarchical spreadsheet" / productivity software) and more.

I also contribute to LLVM, WABT and other WebAssembly related tools, as part of my job at Google.

In the dark times before GitHub, I created open source game engines: Cube Engine, and yet more programming languages (Amiga E, FALSE, Bla, Aardappel and Restructor)

I generally focus on creating tools that make others (and other programmers) more productive and efficient :) I love working on programming language compilers and related technologies, game engines, and more.
