[ SELECTED WORK ]

colonist-resource-tracker

A card tracker for colonist.io, the game he actually plays.

Chrome MV3 extension that reconstructs the full public economy of a colonist.io game (bank, every player's hand, dev card counts) by folding the rendered game log through a MutationObserver and an ordered regex pattern table. Hidden information stays hidden: robber steals are tracked as explicit unknowns. Survives the site's SPA navigation with a watchdog that rebinds when the log remounts.

BlockWorks

Visual data-pipeline SDK and runtime: a single-call defineBlock() TypeScript API with end-to-end type inference, a columnar Rust engine bridged via napi-rs, and an AI block generator that uses the SDK types as the entire LLM context.
