Welcome to Daniel Scherzer's personal website. I am a software engineer with experience working in PHP, JavaScript, Python, C, Rust, and other languages.

I completed my undergraduate education at Tufts University, double majoring in Computer Science and Political Science and graduating magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree. As part of my work in Computer Science, I chose to write an honors thesis in my senior year, see here for details. I continued at Tufts for graduate school, graduating with a Master of Science in Computer Science degree.

In my free time, I contribute to various open-source projects, most notably as a release manager for PHP 8.5 (where I am one of two "rookie" release managers) and for PHP 8.6 (where I am the "veteran" release manager). I also contribute to PHP as a developer, and as the maintainer of the built-in Reflection extension.

See the links in the navigation bar above for more information about my experience.
