Jobs
I work at Meta5, and have previously worked at Atlas Card6, Arena7, CableLabs8 and RealGo9. See my résumé10 for details.
Projects
Some projects I wrote are:
- Lion Reader11, an RSS reader and read-later service
- Clawed Abode12, a web app for running Claude Code remotely from your own machines13
- Channelguessr14, a Discord game where you guess when and where a random message was posted on your server15
- sentry-ocaml16, the unofficial Sentry bindings for OCaml
- OCaml OOXML17, a library to read xlsx (Excel) files (I wrote a blog post about how it works)
I was a maintainer for several other projects:
- PGX18, a pure-OCaml PostgreSQL client library
- Mssql19, a FreeTDS-based SQL Server client library
- FeedReader20, a (deprecated) GTK+ RSS reader with support for multiple backends
I used to participate in MPEG21, with most of my time spent on MPEG-DASH and MPEG-2 Transport Stream. My most popular blog post used to be about the structure of MPEG-DASH MPD files.
I’m a WebKit committer22, with most of my contributions related to HTML5 video support (closed captions, metadata, streaming, etc.), and also have a reasonable number of contributions to GStreamer23.
