Work

Cloud-native management platform under the CNCF. Contributor since Sep 2022, promoted to maintainer in Feb 2023. 9.5k stars, 1,292 contributors, 300+ integrations. Focus on Storybook architecture, component patterns, and cross-team design system alignment.

• First PR: Helm chart improvements preventing unnecessary default installations
• Developed 80+ custom icons for cloud-native management
• Added WebWorker support for proxying events to actors in different threads

Design system powering Meshery, Layer5 Cloud, Kanvas, and Layer5.io. Core contributor. Led the Material UI v4 → v5 migration across the codebase (1,180+ issues) and built 60+ base components wrapping MUI with custom theming.

• Built 60+ base components wrapping MUI with custom theming
• Created custom components: CatalogDesignTable, ErrorBoundary, TransferList
• Led migration from Material UI v4 to v5

Offline OKLCH palette mixer in C# (CLI + web). A seed color becomes a 50–950 ramp with WCAG contrast against white and black, then exports W3C Design Tokens or Style Dictionary JSON that design-token-toolkit already compiles. Default seed is Palette v3 Mongoose gold; Mountbatten, Edward, and Abbey ship as presets.

• Holds hue and scales chroma on the published Stratos lightness/chroma curves
• Exports w3c-hex for the toolkit, plus w3c-oklch and CSS
• Feeds Specimen, then design-token-toolkit, as the mix → version → compile loop

Sits between Swatch and design-token-toolkit. Rails stores palette versions; ReScript renders the ramp and WCAG contrast; Style Dictionary compiles the same css/variables format the toolkit already emits. Upload a Swatch W3C JSON, inspect the specimen sheet, download or compile.

High-performance design token generation with ReScript optimization. Color operations (OKLCH ↔ sRGB, contrast ratios, perceptual mixing) run 5-7× faster than the equivalent TypeScript. Includes an AI-powered palette generation path that seeds from reference images. Swatch and Specimen now feed it W3C JSON.

Monorepo for the @cosmonexus packages. vanilla-extract OKLCH tokens, nova reactive primitives (signals + RxJS store), dual-framework UI (React and Solid) with a shared API, Emotion adapter, and CodeMirror wrappers. The Journal consumes these tokens as nova-ui.

• @cosmonexus/design-tokens: vanilla-extract theme contract + OKLCH dark theme
• nova-store / nova-react: fine-grained signals with an RxJS-based Store
• nova-ui and nova-ui-solid share one component API across frameworks

Browse titles and synopses, read a full entry, then sign in to write or revise at the author desk. ReScript 12 on Rspack, React 19, Relay, and Cosmonexus / nova-ui tokens. Grew out of the earlier Rspack + ReScript starter (previously rspack-rescript).

The enforce layer for my public GitHub originals. Ships reusable security-scan and DevSecOps workflows (CodeQL, Semgrep, Trivy, Cosign, OpenSSF Scorecard, Dependabot), a stamp script for hooks and SECURITY.md, and a local Octokit audit. Consumer repos pin @v0 rather than @main.

• Reusable workflows consumers pin at @v0, not a floating branch
• Stamp script writes security.yml, Dependabot, Lefthook, and SECURITY.md onto a target repo
• Local audit:all walk produces an HTML compliance report without the Next.js dashboard

Companion repo to the Agent Bakeoff blog series. A frozen 2022 codebase is the complexity reference. Independent agents propose a 2026 markdown notes editor, then build the chosen design under 1-day, 3-day, and 1-week budgets — once write-only, once instrumented. The comparison is the content: frameworks, state, bundlers, and editor libraries side by side.

• 10 posts (0–9), 8 proposals across 6 model families, two Act 2 rounds
• Per-build agent notes and orchestrator notes in builds/ and builds-instrumented/

Lockfile catalog with Rails as the web shell and ROM — not ActiveRecord — for projects, snapshots, packages, and dependency edges. Upload a Gemfile.lock, package-lock.json, or Cargo.lock, open a package, and ask why it is in the graph. Single-operator MVP: one ecosystem per snapshot, no accounts.

Parses an apartment layout, packs inventory into shipping boxes with 3D First Fit Decreasing (six rotations, weight limits, guillotine space splits), and solves the exact TSP over rooms with active items so moving day starts and ends at the entry. Emits a chronological plan: pack, move unboxed, discard.

Hourly Flat Data writes newest.json. The Next.js UI (lobsters-graph-app, also a submodule) draws a force graph of submitters, stories, and tags. Falls back from Neo4j Aura to the JSON snapshot to the live Lobste.rs feed.

OCaml-based polyglot OAuth 2.0 SDK generator. Authors type-safe client SDKs across multiple target languages from a single DSL specification. Handles PKCE, refresh flows, and provider-specific quirks (Auth0, Okta, Login.gov patterns).

OpenAI-compatible chat app written in ReScript on the Next.js 16 App Router, using Bun and Tailwind CSS v4. Streams tokens from a Chat Completions route that works with OpenAI, OpenRouter, Groq, Ollama, and other compatible servers — or a local demo mode with no API key.

Research prototype migrating the VA's Formation design system from Webpack to Rspack. Explored Lerna monorepo behavior, SCSS compilation parity, and Babel plugin compatibility. Presented findings on module federation and build-time savings to stakeholders.

Six personal kernel projects documented and preserved. Started with raw assembly experiments after Gentoo taught me to configure my own kernel, progressed through KairosOS, Voleta (toolchain), IsmenaOS, and AstraeaOS. Each kernel is bootable via QEMU with the original build scripts.
