Hi there, I'm Ben Faerber 🦀🐪

• Rector Laravel (Contributor) - Added automatic refactoring for isset($_POST['a']) to use Laravel's Request Facade

🐍 Python Packages

• yt-dlp (Contributor) - Reverse engineered the livestreaming platform Parti and built a stream downloader.

🦀 Rust Crates

• Tray Item RS (Contributor) - Added support for dynamically updating Windows Tray Applications natively.

💻 I'm from Salt Lake City, Utah and am currently working at True Leaf Market creating shipping software (PHP, Rust, TypeScript, Python). I'm also a German Literature Major at the University of Utah. In my spare time I work with Rust, OCaml, and C and hang out in Open Source Communities.
