We are thrilled to announce a new co-maintainer of GraphQL.js: Yaacov Rydzinski
9+
[@Yaacov Rydzinski](https://github.com/yaacovCR) has been approved as a
10+
co-maintainer of GraphQL.js!
11+
12+
Yaacov’s journey into open source and GraphQL is unique, having earned degrees
13+
in both Medicine and Computer Science. Whereas most maintainers are employed as
14+
software developers, Yaacov is a radiologist by day and star GraphQL
15+
contributor by night. Yaacov brings real-world, end-user experience building
16+
APIs and tools for the medical field - sounds like a superhero to us!
17+
18+
GraphQL.js is a fundamental library in the GraphQL ecosystem, serving as the
19+
reference implementation of the GraphQL specification in JavaScript. It provides
20+
the essential building blocks for defining GraphQL schemas, executing queries,
21+
and validating data, making it a critical tool for developers building GraphQL
22+
APIs. As the backbone of many GraphQL-based applications and services,
23+
GraphQL.js plays a pivotal role in driving the adoption and evolution of GraphQL
24+
technology across the web development community.
25+
26+
The GraphQL.js maintainers ensure the project's health by managing
27+
contributions, reviewing code, addressing issues, and guiding its evolution.
28+
Their role is vital in maintaining the quality, security, and relevance of the
29+
software, fostering a collaborative environment, and engaging with the
30+
community.
31+
32+
Please join us in welcoming Yaacov to the GraphQL.js team, and join us for an
33+
upcoming
34+
[GraphQL.js Working Group](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-wg?tab=readme-ov-file#subcommittee-meetings)
35+
meeting!
