I am a TypeScript expert specializing in developer tools.

I work at Surface Labs (YC S23). As our product quickly grows in scope and complexity, I am upgrading the move-fast-break-things codebase for developer- and agent-producticity with context optimized documentation and automated code quality guardrails.

After becoming a serial contributor to Astro, I was invited into the core team. I implemented build-time optimizations, improved SSR production-readyness on Cloudflare Workers, Vercel, and Netlify, and optimized lighthouse performance. I also regularly contribute to the web ecosystem: Oxlint (Rust), VS Code (TypeScript), Terrazzo (React), Deno (Rust), and Caddy (Go).

I recently worked on making Oxlint compatible with the industry-standard ESLint. This involved wrangling lesser-known but powerful code analysis tools while ensuring optimal runtime performance.

I have also built MagicServer: easy, automatic HTTPS for Node.js applications. Issues and rotates X.509 certificates provided by Let's Encrypt and other Certificate Authorities. Built with a modern and robust ACME client (RFC 8555) written specifically for MagicServer!

I write blog posts about my fun experiments in frontend, backend, and devtool engineering. Here's one on why and how I built my own React metaframework.
