About

Marlon

  • Backend developer
  • marlonp@tweedegolf.com

Yes really, a second Marlon. And a very special one at that. Marlon likes a challenge. He functions best in a close-knit team where the bar is set high. Collaboration is very important to him and he wants to continue to develop in this area. He also wants to deepen his knowledge on a technical level.

For the optimal gaming experience, he has a PC couch gaming setup at home via a Raspberry Pi; but he is not behind it 24/7. He also enjoys going to festivals, traveling and playing bass guitar.

Abacus

Abacus is the new application (currently in development) to support the paper-based vote counting process for all Dutch election results and the distribution of seats.

It is being built open-source by the Dutch Electoral Council (Dutch: Kiesraad). Our engineers have joined the Electoral Council developer team for both frontend and backend development.

sequential-storage

A crate for storing data in flash memory with minimal need for erasing pages.

Used in many embedded Rust projects inside and outside of Tweede golf. It often replaces a traditional file system with its key-value map and fifo queue.

Statime

Statime is an initiative of Tweede golf, an open-source implementation of the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) in Rust.

High-precision timing is part of crucial networking infrastructure. With Statime we provide a memory-safe alternative for existing implementations.

The first milestones of the project were kindly co-funded by the NLnet Foundation.

Statime is part of Project Pendulum. In July of 2023 the Sovereign Tech Fund invested in Pendulum, securing development and maintenance in 2023, and maintenance and adoption work in 2024.
