Experience
Eblotter
A price discovery platform for ETL brokers for one of the major security brokerage firms. As the CTO and co-founder, I designed and developed Eblotter using React and Redux on a Ruby on Rails API, with PostgreSQL as the data store.
Universal Ctags
https://ctags.io/A project that aims to continue the development of Exuberant Ctags (e-ctags)—the ancestor of Universal Ctags (u-ctags) maintained by Darren Hiebert.
E-ctags improved traditional ctags with multi-language support, enabling users to define new languages searched by regular expressions (called Optlib in u-ctags) and generate Emacs-style TAGS files. Unfortunately, the project's activity stalled.
I initially created a personal fork of e-ctags on GitHub. As interest and participation grew, we moved the development to a dedicated project for u-ctags. This project aims to maintain a common or unified working space where people interested in improving ctags can collaborate. Some of the major features of u-ctags include:
• Increased numbers for language support
• A new extended C/C++ language parser
• A fully extended Optlib – a feature to define a new language parser from a command line
