Maximilian (we can call him Max) joined Tweede golf during his studies (now holds a degree in Cyber Security) and stuck around. Max prefers quality over quantity (so do we), likes to keep an open mind towards innovation (like us), and in his spare time he likes to climb, cycle and swim (sounds familiar, doesn´t it?). Match made in Nijmegen.

Most recently, Max has been instrumental in our openleadr-rs implementation. And, honestly, quite a few other projects, such as the website you're currently viewing.

Increasingly more organizations are reviewing their dependencies on foreign software and IT services from countries like the US. One broad necessity for many organizations is sending automated emails, possibly with high volume, be it for password resets, order confirmations, or routine notifications. Remails, a new European Mail Transfer Agent, can help you send these emails reliably without relying on big tech! In this blog post, we tell the story of how we built Remails from a single binary proof-of-concept to a highly available, scalable cloud application.
Many of us have heard about quantum computers and that they are a threat to our internet security and privacy. Nobody can tell, though, how long it will still take until quantum computers are actually powerful enough to be a serious threat. Even though the internet is often associated with rapid change, the fundamentals often take decades to change. Therefore, we must act now before it’s too late.
The number of data centers worldwide is constantly increasing, and so is their electricity consumption. One way to become more power-efficient is certainly the constant development of better hardware, but we as developers should do our share. This post shows how coding in Rust can help to use existing resources more efficiently, to help preserve our planet — at least a little bit.

openleadr-rs

Openleadr-rs is an opinionated, open-source Rust implementation of the OpenADR 3.0 protocol that's ready for real-world pilots. OpenADR is a protocol for automatic demand-response in electricity grids, used, for example, for dynamic pricing or load shedding.

openleadr-rs was initiated by us as openadr-rs, but is now part of the OpenLEADR project, governed by the Linux Energy Foundation.
