Work / Index
Professional product engineering, upstream contributions to other people’s codebases, and public releases. Employment, open source and independent work are different contexts, and the index keeps them distinct.
Shipping on a live product.
Production work on a live product: features, fixes, and the small decisions that have to keep making sense once they reach people.
Public boundary Described at the level of the work I do. Engineering stories from Rebuildr are published once they can be told without exposing private systems, customers, metrics, or plans.
Building from the other side of the table.
Starting from an idea, deciding what matters, and turning it into something real one careful decision at a time.
Public boundary Public notes stay high-level while this work is still being written up.
A null check, a client contract, and who gets to know a page exists.
Two merged fixes to the page API of GROWI, an open-source wiki platform. Found by reproducing a failure, shaped by maintainer review, and settled by a security property the first version of the fix had not accounted for.
2 merged Pull requests to growilabs/growi, July–August 2026
One directive. A different game.
An Alien: Isolation modification that changes one behaviour directive, and with it the whole experience of Sevastopol. The most downloaded Alien: Isolation mod on Nexus Mods in 2025.

The route read page.descendantCount before checking whether the lookup had returned anything.
Land the rename fix first and on its own, as the maintainer preferred, and handle the duplicate route in a separate follow-up so that each review stayed small.
#11615 merged on 10 August 2026 and closed the issue.
The Alien’s behaviour is selected by a directive in the game’s ALIEN.BML data.
The published release sets that directive to NoBehaviour.
Released on Nexus Mods on 8 December 2024.
