Marlon

  • Co-owner & CTO
  • marlon@tweedegolf.com

Marlon is co-owner of Tweede golf and CTO. He has a background in computer science (MSc in Digital ​​Security) and over 10 years of experience in building a wide range of applications, from front-end web development to systems programming. You can rely on him to always deliver software quickly, and inspire his team members through leading by example.

His remarkable prototyping skills, going from idea to polished implementation at an insane pace, have made him the regular winner of Tweede golf hack days. His favourite projects allow him to do full stack development: from design and frontend to backend and operations.

His recent work includes sudo-rs, the memory-safe implementation of sudo, Krill, an RPKI Certificate Authority, and his pet project Mailcrab, an email test server for development.

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.
