William Woodruff

New York, NY

Hello! My name is William (or Will). I'm an open source maintainer, contributing to a variety of projects in both professional and hobbyist contexts.

Some things you might use or know me for:

  • zizmor: static analysis tooling for GitHub Actions
  • abi3audit: detects potentially exploitable stable ABI violations in Python extensions
  • ff2mpv: a Firefox & Chrome extension for playing videos in MPV
  • One of Homebrew's maintainers. In particular, I maintain ruby-macho and assist in Homebrew's security.
  • One of sigstore-python's maintainers.
@woodruffw

My goal is to support my own servers/infrastructure for my projects and websites, as well as sustain my projects over the long term (through fiscal sponsors who are invested in/benefit from my projects).
