👋 Hi, I’m dev chrysalis (@deviaze)

Blurb

I love writing code to ~~create &~~ solve interesting problems.

I'm a big fan of Rust (catching problems at compile time with great tooling and safety), programming language research & development, gamedev, and generally making software easier to use and more obvious to end users.

Projects

Right now I'm working on:

• seal, a scripting-focused, cross-platform, highly-reliable, and lightweight Luau runtime with a focus on simplifying scripting & automation with inbuilt support for multithreading, key remapping (planned), and UI (planned).
• Firefly, a high-level programming language for expressionists who want to get things done, with great DX, expressive yet explicit error handling, compile-time safety, and both nominal and structural types. Inspired by Rust, Luau, Ruby, Python, Vlang, and others; in Firefly, types are first-class values and are the base data structure for everything else. Programming work will begin on Firefly once syntax and semantics are finalized.

Professional work

As the primary software engineer on the FedEx InfoSec Data Science team @ UMRFV, I wrote, maintained, and automated infosec data science pipeline projects for FedEx's CIA team. I pushed our team to adopt modern Python tooling, including strict typechecking, better dependency management (uv), and polars > pandas for new projects--decisions that paid off with increased performance, reliability, maintainability, and ease-of-onboarding.
