Backend developer. Rust · Python · Go. I contribute to three open source projects and build systems tooling to learn.
Rust · Python · Go
I send patches to three projects and keep going back to the same three. Usually the same kind of bug: a rule that's right in general and wrong at some boundary — scope, aliasing, an assumption that stops holding.
astral-sh/ruff — Python linter, Rust.
When a fix is safe enough to apply unasked. Example: FURB101/FURB103 with a file descriptor.
Merged
swc-project/swc — JS/TS compiler, Rust.
Minifier and renamer. Example: top-level declarations only reachable through direct eval.
Merged
coredns/coredns — DNS server, Go. Cache and file plugins. Example: resolving each additional-section target once. Credited in the v1.14.5 and v1.14.7 release notes. Merged
Jan–Apr 2026, before I moved my time upstream. Not maintained. Benchmarks in them are loopback, single machine.
- aegis-proxy — L4 TCP proxy,
io_uring, thread-per-core - chronos_lsm — LSM key-value store, WAL, bloom filters, compaction
- celer_mock — cross-process events over
memfd+SCM_RIGHTS - vanguard-infrastructure — workspace root, demo frontend
- bifrost-api — booking API, FastAPI + PostgreSQL
