It’s my pleasure to announce that Santiago Pastorino has joined the Rails Core group. Santiago only started contributing to Rails this year, but has been on fire ever since his first patches were accepted. He’s managed to rack up 380 commits since the beginning of the year.

Santiago is one of the lead developers and co-founder of WyeWorks from Montevideo, Uruguay. He started working full-time with Ruby and Rails in the middle of 2008 after years of Java development. Since early 2010 he is trying to work full-time on OSS and sporadically writes on his company’s blog.

Congratulations!
