GSoC 2025 · MIT App Inventor

Made a 15-year-old GWT block editor fully responsive.

MIT App Inventor is used by millions to learn to code — but its editor was desktop-only. I rebuilt the UI to work properly on phones and tablets.

  • +Reworked GWT UiBinder layouts to reflow across screen sizes
  • +Made the Blockly drag-and-drop canvas touch-first
  • +Shipped it in a PR merged into the main appinventor-sources repo
PR #3491 — merged
beforeDesktop-only GWT interface — unusable on a phone.afterResponsive, touch drag-and-drop on every device size.

GSoC 2026 · Debezium / Red Hat

Automating host provisioning for the Debezium Platform.

Debezium streams change data out of databases. I'm building the layer that stands up and configures the machines that pipeline runs on — the infrastructure has to work before the feature can.

  • +Writing Ansible playbooks + roles to provision hosts from scratch
  • +Configuring SSH access, key-based auth, and inventory
  • +Validating every play in a throwaway Docker lab before it ships
  • +Documenting the working build and the broken one in real time

// learned

Automating a host you don't understand yet just automates the confusion. Learn the manual path first.
