![[2018-05-07 Ram Rachum at PyWeb-IL.jpg]] * I've been working as a software developer since 2009. I specialize in the Python programming language. I'm an open-source activist. * I left Google in 2022 to work full-time on my research. * I'm conducting my research at [the GOLD lab](https://sites.google.com/site/dekelreuth/gold-lab) at Tufts University, led by [Professor Reuth Mirsky](https://sites.google.com/site/dekelreuth/welcome). * I was a Fellow of [ALTER](https://alter.org.il/), which generously funded my research between April 2023 to October 2023. * I'm a [PSF](https://www.python.org/psf/) Fellow. * I'm a member of [The Future of Life Institute](https://futureoflife.org/)'s AI Safety Community. * I'm a Scientific Council Member at [The Israeli Association for Ethics in Artificial Intelligence](https://iaeai.org/). * [My GitHub account](https://github.com/cool-RR) All of my open-source projects are here. * [PySnooper](https://github.com/cool-RR/PySnooper) A poor man's debugger for Python. [Talk video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP5imOJc_TE) * [PythonTurtle](http://pythonturtle.org/) A program that helps children learn [Python](http://python.org/). Over 100,000 people downloaded this software, and I'm very happy I could help so many children get interested in programming. * I've contributed to lots of open-source projects: CPython, Django, Jax, Matplotlib, PyPy, Pandas and more. * [Old blog](http://blog.ram.rachum.com/) * Email: [email protected]
