Selected engineering

All engineering work

Predictive test selection

5–9 min selected CI runs on launch day; the full matrix took 20–29 min

I combined dependency analysis with calibrated model judgments to select test files. A replay of 110 failed CI runs from Aug–Sep 2026 caught 94 of 110 failing test files at a median 13.7% of the suite’s files. Every skipped file still runs in a post-merge audit.

Design and evaluation

One market-data core

5 game editions served from one shared data core, October 2026

I migrated a live platform from separate TimescaleDB stores to ClickHouse. Deterministic writes, verified publication and versioned caches keep partial snapshots out of client responses.

Data model, migration and recovery

Automated bot mitigation

16 of 16 labeled replay cases pass every threshold, including 8 that must never trigger an action

I built an hourly service that detects automated traffic and challenges it at the edge. Typed judgments can only lower detector verdicts; independent guards bound the reach, and post-action checks can revoke a change.

Detection, calibration and rollback

More work: isolated browser automation, retrieval memory for coding agents, and evaluated code-review tools.

Open source

Tools for AI coding agents that I use on my own products, each with tests you can run: a pixel-art coworker for the Claude Code status line, a code scanner, and two review teams scored against labeled cases.

All repositories (external site) Writing on these tools

clawdagotchi (external site)

TypeScript, Python, Bash, MIT license

A pixel-art Claude who works beside a Claude Code session: a scene for each thing the session does, an idle life between turns, and reactions as the context window fills and usage limits approach.

A parametric generator draws all 73 frames, and the repo includes 159 tests and the status line he lives on.

Screenshots and install (external site)

ui-craft (external site)

JavaScript, MIT license

The web UI review team and its evaluation fixtures. I used it on this site.
