I'm a Chicago-based developer who has way too much free time on his hands.
Check out my commit graph if you want to see what "too much free time" looks like in GitHub contributions. I put a lot of work into my passion projects, though most of them stay private because they're either private or too messy for public consumption.
My public repos are a mix of open-sourced internals from my main project and random stuff I built because something annoyed me enough to fix it:
reliably - A forked and heavily modified Ably Rust crate that I ended up reverse-engineering from scratch after the original went stale. Built it to power the real-time messaging layer in my main project. I (and by I, I mean Claude) had to dig through the Ably TypeScript SDK and hand-roll the WebSocket protocol implementation using tokio-tungstenite because no maintained Rust client existed.
chat-lol - I built this purely because I was bored one day and figured I could outdo my friend at making a P2P chat webapp. It started as a casual challenge but turned into a suprisingly decent real-time messaging platform.
data-lol - My teacher last year had these Python scripts we needed to run for class, but I didn't feel like waiting a whole minute for the web running environment to load on my Chromebook every single time just to run a simple script. So naturally, I ported the entire thing to NextJS, made it look actually good, and deployed it.
Most of my other repositories are private because they're either personal projects or experimental code that's too messy for public consumption. I have standards... sometimes.
- I made my username
ogyeet10when I was 10 years old (hence the 10) and I've been slowly migrating away from it across platforms - GitHub will let me change my username and auto-redirect the old one, but it breaks a bunch of existing links so I just haven't bothered yet
- My home network setup probably rivals some small businesses in terms of features and monitoring
