Useful ideas, carefully built.

I build developer tools, terminal systems, and small services, and help restore useful work from other communities. This directory distinguishes projects I lead from contributions and revivals.

How I work

Small pieces. Clear edges.

I like software that explains itself: concrete interfaces, documentation people can use, and a healthy respect for the machines underneath. The public sites above are the front doors; the code and the rest of the experiments are on GitHub.
