Right now, my primary focus is making Git Gud, which helps people learn how to use git! In the past, I've worked on everything from full stack to data science, artificial intelligence and blockchain, and I've contributed to repositories such as Jupyter Notebook, Jupyter Lab, Pandas, and Git Python.
