Open source grounded in practice

From early Scala and infrastructure projects to current AI integrations: accepted contributions, projects of my own and collaboration on debugging. Each entry links to its original source. This selection is neither a complete contribution history nor a client list. Entries are classified by original sources and documented roles, not stars or commit counts.

Projects developed and maintained

Aquila · Elixir · 2025–2026

An Elixir library of my own for AI integration: streaming, tool calling, Deep Research workflows and deterministic test recordings. Application orchestration, not development of the connected models.

psilonet · MLX · 2025

Exploratory experiments of my own with additional connections between transformer layers in MLX on Apple Silicon. Documented observations are specific to the evaluated setups; no independent replication or general performance or safety improvement is claimed.

Solarium · Scala / Solr

A derivative developed from Foursquare’s Slashem, adding write operations and caching. The work is documented in this project; it does not establish that Foursquare accepted these changes.

Scala ACME · 2016–2017

A project of my own: a Scala/Netty client for ACME and Let’s Encrypt. Client development, not a claimed role in the Let’s Encrypt project.

Collaboration on debugging

Netty · 2013 · #1874

Bug report with a maintainer-confirmed fix: a maintainer thanks the reporter and confirms the correction. The thread documents debugging collaboration, not a CVE or a security-vulnerability classification.

Netty · 2013 · #960

Bug report with reproduction and a follow-up test: Franz Bettag supplies a reproducible UDP case and subsequently confirms that the fix works. Not counted as a security finding.
