Projects

EdgeWorkers
Akamai Technologies, Ottawa

I've recently had the pleasure of joining the team working on EdgeWorkers, an edge compute platform integrated with Akamai's CDN offerings.

Open Source

Here are some recent side projects I'm happy with:

git fold, a git extension for flexible, convenient change backporting
A Redis-backed game server
An early-stage task management web app using React, Go, and GraphQL.
A compiler and runtime for a dynamically typed language using Rust and LLVM
A little Go program to extract font data for fonts served by Google Fonts

When I find an issue in open-source code, I try to submit readily reproducible bug reports and well-tested fixes. Examples:

Reliability enhancements to the rbspy Ruby profiler
An exception in the Yarn package manager
A missing feature in libgit2, a git library used by GitHub, Gitlab, Bitbucket, and others
Report on standards-breaking behavior in ydk-gen, an API binding generator for network management agents

Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol
Cisco Systems, Ottawa

I worked on the team responsible for the development of LISP, a routing protocol which brings the advantages of software-defined networking to local-area and wide-area networks.

Distributed Digital Music Archives Lab
McGill University, Montreal

As a research assistant on the SIMSSA initiative, I developed interfaces for searching and displaying musical texts.

I worked on the 5.0 release of the Diva.js document image viewer, rewriting core rendering and build systems.

I also developed the front-end prototype of MusicLibs, a cross-library search engine for musical documents, and built out the website for Cantus Ultimus, a fully-searchable repository of medieval musical texts.
