I build public-good software, data tools, and local-first apps that help people understand information, communicate better, and make safer decisions.
- Civic Signal Kit: a Python toolkit for transparent public-interest trend summaries from CSV time-series data.
- ChatWithAnyone: an experimental iOS app for local-first conversational personas using SwiftUI and Apple's Foundation Models framework.
- Privacy-preserving AI workflows: tools that avoid unnecessary servers, analytics, and logging.
- Education and public communication: projects that make technical ideas easier to use and understand.
Civic Signal Kit is my strongest current OSS candidate. It is MIT-licensed, tested in CI, dependency-free, tagged at v0.2.0, published on PyPI, and designed for educators, journalists, community groups, and civic volunteers who need reproducible CSV trend summaries with visible thresholds and data-quality notes.
- User privacy comes first.
- Small, reviewable changes beat large opaque rewrites.
- Documentation is part of the product.
- Security and accessibility are maintenance work, not afterthoughts.
- Open source should be useful to real people.
- Improving test coverage and CI for Swift/iOS projects.
- Publishing small, dependency-light civic data tools with clear assumptions and examples.
- Turning early prototypes into maintainable open-source repositories.
- Building contributor-friendly issue templates, release notes, and project roadmaps.
- Exploring how Codex can reduce maintainer load for issue triage, pull request review, and release workflows.
