About
It's hard to tell you about myself in one paragraph, isn't it? Haha... I'm just a kid exploring stuff. You can see some of it here. These days it's mostly software for robots, system architecture and AI agents, but I explore all sorts of things. You can see what I work with over here.
Open source
- microsoft/markitdown (190K+ stars): Microsoft's Python tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown for LLM pipelines. Merged #2407, which added Python 3.14 support by updating its YouTube transcript dependency. Open: #2619, docs for configuring MarkItDown's MCP server in VS Code. my PRs →
- learning-unlimited/ESP-Website: the open-source platform behind Splash educational programs run by Learning Unlimited. Merged #4428, which optimized the Docker setup for faster builds and smaller images. my PRs →
