Python expert, web developer, and open-source enthusiast.

I have written and maintain two utility programs, a handful of Python libraries, and several plugins for the Textual framework. I also write blog posts and tutorials on my website about a variety of topics, including Python, Linux, and hot takes on agentic development.

Utility Programs

• CLOCTUI - A terminal-based tool (TUI) for counting lines of code in a directory and displaying the results in a pretty interactive table. It's a frontend for the cloc command line tool.
• ezlogconsole - A modern, JSON-based logging console with an included logging handler for the Python standard library's logging module (Technically also a library, for the handler).
• systemd-mount-manager (IN PROGRESS) - A terminal-based tool (TUI) for managing systemd mount units (The successor to /etc/fstab)

Python Libraries

• ezpubsub - A publish-subscribe library for Python that's modern, thread-safe, supports sync and async equally, strongly typed, and has an ultra-simple API. I built this because I scoured the internet and couldn't find another one that I thought was suitable for modern Python.
• ezlogconsole - See above. The handler can be added into projects as a dependency, or you can just copy paste the code for the handler if you don't want to add it as a project dependency.
• rich-pyfiglet - A Python library for generating color ASCII text banners by combining the rich library with the pyfiglet library.

Plugins for Textual

• textual-pyfiglet - Adds a Figlet widget that creates colorized, animating ASCII text banners using the pyfiglet library combined with Textual's animation system.
• textual-coloromatic - Adds a Coloromatic widget which can add color animations to ASCII art.
• textual-slidecontainer - Adds a SlideContainer widget which slides in and out of view.
• textual-window - Adds a Window widget which can be used to create modal, desktop-like windows that can be minimized or dragged around the screen with the mouse.
