I'm building public domain, open source tools, mostly in Python.

I want to make working with computers more intuitive, faster, easier, and less stressful.

My main project is migra, a schema comparison tool for PostgreSQL.

I've written several other python modules too:

  • sqlakeyset: The only offset-free, multi-direction, multi-column paging plugin for SQLAlchemy
  • logx: A fully configuration free logging library
  • autovenv: An automatic virtual environment manager
  • pgnotify: Easily listen to PostgreSQL NOTIFY messages
  • emailx: Wrapper over the standard library to make email sending simple
  • results: A jack-of-all trades library for working with databases and tabular data
  • ratemate: A small, simple yet advanced rate limiting module

I'm also interested in developing new, radically different user interfaces for software development. I'm working on instant-feedback coding experience in Python, built for the purposes of promoting better software development interfaces. I discussed this at PyCon Australia: Instant-feedback, instant-debugging Python coding. This isn't open sourced yet: but with enough sponsorship, that could become feasible.

I've put many hours of voluntary work into designing and building migra and other tools, without financial reward: It's a labour of love.

Help support better software for the public good by supporting my efforts.
