Advocacy

Keep Android Open

In August 2025, Google announced that as of September 2026, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first registering centrally with Google. This move threatens the open nature of Android and the freedom of developers to create and distribute apps without gatekeeping. I advocate for keeping Android open and accessible to all developers, ensuring that innovation and creativity can continue to thrive on the platform.

Security

I Take Security Seriously

Security is built in my workflow from commit to release. Here are some of the practices I use to keep code, dependencies, and published packages trustworthy.

Signed Git Commits (GPG)

Commits are signed with GPG and verified on GitHub (green verified check) to prove authenticity and integrity.

npm Provenance / Trusted Publishing

Packages are published with npm provenance, improving supply chain transparency by linking releases to CI build identity.

GitHub Dependabot

Automated dependency alerts and upgrade PRs help patch known vulnerabilities quickly and keep the stack current.

Secret Scanning (GitGuardian)

Repositories are monitored for exposed secrets and risky tokens, reducing the chance of credential leaks.

Branch Protection & Required Checks

Critical branches use PR reviews and required CI checks before merge to prevent insecure or untested changes.

Continuous Security Scanning

Static analysis and repository-level security checks are run continuously to catch issues early in development.

AI/ML in Development

Yes, I Use AI in My Workflow

AI is part of my day-to-day workflow to improve velocity, clarity, and code quality while keeping human (like me) the final decision-maker.

AI-Assisted Commit Generation

I use AI to generate commit messages with concise but detailed context, making history easier to review and audit.

LSP + Generative Code Analysis

Beyond traditional static diagnostics from LSPs, I combine tooling with generative and predictive analysis to get deeper insights and suggestions on code quality, architecture, and potential issues.

LLM-Powered Ideation & Research

I use multiple LLMs to brainstorm features, compare implementation strategies, and accelerate prototyping.

Human-in-the-Loop Review

AI suggestions are reviewed and validated before merge to keep output aligned with project standards, reliability, and intent.

Achievements

Feedback & Testimonials

A collection of feedback and testimonials from clients, collaborators, and peers that highlight the impact of my work and the value I bring to projects.

Delivery Framework

  • SDLC-aligned planning, implementation, testing, and release cycles
