Projects

The vast majority of my projects are open source and can be found on GitHub. This is a list of projects I’ve written or contributed to in some way. I love discussing them, so feel free to ask me about them.

Read the Docs

Read the Docs is a site for building and hosting sphinx documentation. The main goal of it is to lower the barrier to writing docs as much as possible. The idea is that if there is free hosting, automated building, and easy to select themes developers would write docs. Once they are written maintaining them is easy because when you push your docs are automatically rebuilt.

What I did for the project:

• Wrote better integration with GitHub, including tests.
• Made it possible for multiple people be admins on a project.
• Took part in architecture discussions with the maintainer.

ZenIRCBot

ZenIRCBot is a IRC bot that works a bit differently than your standard bot. Features (and interesting to implement things) include:

• Microservice architecture
• Redis pub/sub as a transport
• Services can be written in any language.
• Core bot written in Node.js but reference implementations are also in Python and Clojure.
• Patched various third party libraries to enable features in each of the bots.

GitHub Repo Widget

GitHub Repo Widget is a Firefox add-on that I wrote because I was on bad internet and wanted faster access to my issue tracker.

• Used the Jetpack Add-on SDK which is written in JavaScript.
• Wrote my own lib for interacting with GitHub
• Found and submitted several bug reports against addons.mozilla.org and the add-on SDk.

geoloqi-workout-tracker

geoloqi-workout-tracker is my stab at building something on the Geoloqi platform. Interesting bits of this:

• Register new accounts and login using Geoloqi’s OAuth2 service.
• Associate accounts with DailyMile using OAuth2.

webhook-relay

webhook-relay is a service I was architecting to fill a hole in gluing webhooks together as well as making webhooks more robust.

• Forward and multiplex incoming webhooks using celery.

aichallenge-ants

This was my entry into aichallenge for the ants competition.

• Wrote a custom weight dispersion algorithm.
• Used PyPy.

speck

speck command line interface to letsfreckle.

• Used baker to do the command line argument and function parsing easier.
• Interacted with an external REST API.

Fabric

Fabric is a library to make remote system management easier. While I’ve not directly contributed to Fabric, I have run multiple code sprints for it.

Resume

That would be this. I have it up on GitHub because it is easier to maintain there. It is written in ReStructured Text using sphinx so I can host it on Read the Docs. This way I get a clean looking resume that I can export as a PDF, or just directly link to.

I was inspired by another user who has his resume on Read The Docs as well!
