Projects
A mix of active projects and older work: some educational rabbit holes, some practical tools, and some upstream contributions.
Active
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| BeachDB | A distributed NoSQL database and storage-engine written in Go, and written about in this blog. See all posts tagged #beachdb. |
| PyCOOLC | A compiler for the Classroom Object Oriented Language (COOL), written in Python 3 and targeting the MIPS 32-bit architecture (SPIM). Built while following the Stanford Compilers course on edX. |
| aiohttp web APIs template | A modern, opinionated Cookiecutter template for building async Python web APIs powered by Aiohttp, SQLAlchemy 2.0, and PostgreSQL. Built at TrustYou and used as a starter kit for many Python microservices. |
| turso | An edge database platform built around SQLite/libSQL. I’ve contributed fixes across the stack (CLI, core storage & transaction locking). |
| Apache HBase | A distributed, Bigtable-inspired NoSQL database on Hadoop. I’ve contributed small patches and improvements while operating HBase at HubSpot. |

Archived, finished, and older collaborations.
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| micro_kanren.py | An object-oriented μKanren in Python 3: an embedded DSL for relational/declarative logic programming. Inspired by Tom Stuart’s talk “Hello, declarative world!” in 2015. |
| Assembler.hack | A 16-bit machine code assembler for the Hack assembly language, built while taking nand2tetris (part 1, part 2). A fun way to connect computer architecture concepts to real bits. |
| PyRocks | A RocksDB-inspired educational PoC, used in a workshop to teach LSM concepts: SSTables, WAL, memtables, and bloom filters. |
| PBFI | An educational interpreter for the Brainfuck programming language, written in Python 3. Definitely not the shortest one; the point is readability. |
| C# Algorithms | A library of reference implementations for known data structures and algorithms I built (circa ~2014) to go back to the fundamentals. It grew over time and eventually got contributions from others. |
| awesome-compilers | A vertical list of “awesome” resources on compilers, interpreters, and runtimes. |
| kaos | A platform for deploying scalable, reproducible machine learning workflows in a private environment. Developed at KI labs (part of KI group); I helped test it and worked on features after its OSS launch. |
| C# ORM | A lightweight object-relational mapper in C# that maps table relations and generates SQL. Built at CCC and used in production systems (see: iBill project). |
| iBill | Enterprise billing/invoicing/reporting app for telephony providers (MS Lync, Asterisk), built with C# and ASP.NET Web Forms. Developed at CCC and deployed in production. |
