Arthur Vercruysse

Developer for semantic Web developers.

ABOUT {

// whoami

PhD researcher in Computer Science Engineering at Ghent University, building open-source developer tooling, streaming RDF pipelines, and Linked Data clients for the FOSS Semantic Web community.

My work centers on live, provenance-tracked knowledge graphs — which is what led to building RDF-Connect and the Semantic Web Language Server, tools now used by other Semantic Web developers rather than just myself.

Outside of work, I'm usually bouldering, chipping away at renovating my house, or building small tools I didn't strictly need — see Projects below.

PROJECTS {

// side quests

  • Advent of Code

    Solutions to the yearly Advent of Code puzzles, mostly written as an excuse to try out a new language or squeeze out an unreasonable amount of performance.

  • Beancount Importer

    A personal plain-text-accounting importer and visualizer for Beancount, built to make sense of bank exports without handing my finances to a SaaS.

  • Imager

    Displays ShaderToy shaders as a live desktop wallpaper, because a static background is a wasted GPU.
