Software developer, self-taught.
Web development was my gateway into programming, but I'm always trying to learn more — stretch into new areas of computer science. I build tools that solve problems I run into, contribute in the open, and share what I make so others can learn from it — the way I did. Wouldn't be here without open source.
I wanted to learn Rust with a real project. A language server for Django projects seemed like a good way to do that while hopefully improving Django's DX.
django-language-server — a language server for Django projects, written in Rust. Editor extensions for VSCode (djls-vscode) and Zed (zed-django).
LLMs are powerful but non-deterministic; how do you add guardrails without removing what makes them useful? Still working that out.
mcp-django gives LLMs structured access to Django projects, and djangodocs.org (private alpha, opening soon) is a better way for LLMs to search the documentation.
docs2markdown is a CLI tool and Python library to convert HTML documentation to Markdown, built to power djangodocs.org.
opencode-agent-skills and agent-skills document workflows and patterns for LLM coding agents — my attempts to figure out how to use these things, like everyone else.
Speaking of making LLMs useful, the age of personal vibe-engineered software is upon us. Here are a few personal tools that I've wanted for myself -- applications that are locked behind a single company's walled garden or are lacking in some way on Linux.
Plus it's a good excuse to stretch into desktop development, stay productive with web technologies (Tauri WebViews and Svelte), and write more Rust (any excuse is a good excuse 😄):

A few contributions to bigger projects I'm proud of:
- django/django#19529 — Lazy loading for GDAL in GeoDjango, following the pattern established for GEOS. (Open)
- django-rest-framework#9688 — Fixed UniqueConstraint validation when fields use
sourceattribute. - fastmcp#2323 — Fixed query-only resource templates not matching URIs without query strings.
