If you been paying attention to what’s happening with [multi-threading support in Crystal](https://crystal-lang.org/2024/02/09/84codes-manas-mt/), you’ll note that a name stands out: Julien Portalier. Also known as [@ysbaddaden](https://github.com/ysbaddaden), he had been part of the Crystal Core Team from 2015 until 2020. Now that he’s taken on such a critical task, it only makes sense to bring him back to the Core Team.

I am very glad about this too, because @ysbaddaden 's profile picture always reminds me of the character Adrian Pimento in Brooklyn 99 who is awesome 😃
