Ex-Google. I've spent a career getting big software onto constrained hardware — Google Earth into Audi's in-car navigation, YouTube onto TVs and game consoles. The embedded chapter is recent: the FastLED ecosystem — the library, a Rust build tool, a browser compiler, a video mapper — and a Rust stack aimed at making C++/embedded builds fast enough to actually iterate in.
| Project | Lang | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| FastLED | C++ |
The addressable-LED library. ~13,000 commits — roughly 17× the next contributor. Current work: parallel-IO channel engines (FlexIO, ObjectFLED, ESP32 PARLIO / LCD_CAM / I2S) driving clockless and SPI modes through one dispatch path. |
| fbuild | Rust |
Multi-platform embedded build tool — compiler, deployer, emulator runner and serial monitor. Reads the platformio.ini you already have, builds through a Rust-native pipeline. Effectively sole-authored. pip install fbuild |
| ledmapper | TS |
Maps video onto physical WS2812 / APA102 arrays. Live at www.ledmapper.com. |
| fastled-wasm | TS + Rust |
Browser compiler for FastLED sketches — 3-second compile and 1-second deploy on fast machines. pip install fastled |
Everything below exists because C++ and embedded build times are the whole inner loop.
| Project | Lang | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| zccache | Rust |
Local-first compiler cache for C/C++/Rust/Emscripten — drop-in replacement for sccache and ccache, with a one-line installer and binaries for every platform. |
| soldr | Rust |
Rust tools delivered as prebuilt, cached artifacts — first run in seconds instead of a cold compile. |
| reld | Rust |
Fork of the wild linker aimed at incremental relinking for the inner dev loop — Linux native, Windows/macOS via an lld bridge. Early days. |
| running-process | Rust |
Subprocess replacement that tracks zombie processes and launches PTYs. Ships to PyPI and crates.io. |
| clud | Rust |
Sandboxed Claude & Codex agent CLI — "safety third and God Mode always." |
Multi-backend Whisper app — blazing fast, Mac-arm optimized, insta-install. 1,300+ ★ and the most-used standalone tool here.
Older and lower-profile than the work above, and still the highest-traffic thing on the account — 300k+ installs a month.

Working with me
Open source first — if a client project needs a piece that doesn't exist yet, it usually ends up on this profile as a standalone package with tests, CI and a release. That's why there are 200+ repos here, and why some of the smallest ones carry the most traffic.
