Ruben can rightfully be called a full stack developer, with many years of experience. He knows a lot (a lot!) about many different techniques. He watches over the architecture of applications and does not accept half-baked solutions. He always makes his strong opinion heard.

Ruben studied computer science at the RU and previously embarked on the entrepreneurial path together with Marlon. In his spare time, he enjoys playing tabletop games and cycling through the beautiful surroundings of Nijmegen.

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.
