Open Source

Working code, public. The most verifiable thing on this site: all of it is mine or my team's, and the reasoning is in the repo. Each one exists because something was missing and the gap was worth closing in the open. The older ones are unmaintained, marked as such, with live signals straight from GitHub.

odin

A Go library for building self-documenting command-line applications.
abandoned
since 2014

# why I built it

CLIs rot when the help text drifts from the flags. Odin makes the documentation a product of the definition, so it can't lie about what the command actually does.

# signals

admiral.cr

A robust DSL for writing command-line interfaces in Crystal.
abandoned
since 2017

# why I built it

Crystal had the speed of compiled code with the feel of Ruby, but no expressive way to define a CLI. Admiral is the DSL I wanted to exist: declarative commands, flags, and args that read like intent.

# signals

psykube

A faster way to deploy to Kubernetes: a Crystal CLI that templates manifests from simple config.
abandoned
since 2016

# why I built it

We ran it in production at both GigSmart and CommercialTribe to make Kubernetes deploys repeatable and fast: manifests as templated config, not copy-pasted YAML drifting per environment. The deploy path is a product; this was part of building that track.

# signals

promise.cr

A Promise implementation for Crystal.
abandoned
since 2016

# why I built it

Async composition without callback soup. Borrowed the mental model engineers already carry from JS so concurrent Crystal code stays readable.

kasoku

Acceleration tooling for the Bushido stack. (kasoku, 加速, "acceleration.")
active
since 2026

# why I built it

The connective tissue that makes the rest move faster. Boring on purpose. The part of the toolchain that earns its keep by getting out of the way.
