Building tools that connect developers, bridge communities, and push technical boundaries.
About Me
I'm a developer with two decades of experience and a growing obsession with software correctness. I believe in building tools that empower developers and bridge the gaps between disparate communities.
My work spans from curating job opportunities for niche programming languages to aggregating cross-community tech discourse, and from GPU-accelerated UI frameworks to terminal-based collaboration tools.
Projects
Tools and platforms I've built to solve problems I care about.
