README

          

Hi, I'm Peter 👋

I have authored and/or currently maintain hundreds of open source libraries, including many you might use (as a developer or a consumer of the internet), including the RubyGems:
- oauth2
- oauth
- os
- ruby-openid
- rack-openid
- omniauth-identity
- omniauth-jwt2
- omniauth-openid
- sanitize_email
- flag_shih_tzu
- many resque, rspec, and rubocop plugins & more...

I was laid off in a March 2025 RIF, and am looking for my next sponsor and my next role.

## :child: How it started

Holding a black caiman, Amazon River, Brazil. 1997
A cheeky me holding a baby black caiman, Amazon River, Brazil, June 24, 1997, shortly after completing my first programming course - Pascal. The black caiman, a baby specimen of the family Alligatoridae and order Crocodilia, was unharmed, and released back to the water, where it promptly continued following its mother. Full grown they are among the largest alligators and crocodiles in the world.
