Hello, I'm Stephan! I build free and open source (FOSS) developer tools, productivity apps, and technical infrastructure. Some of my most notable projects include:

  • Toast: a task runner based on containers. Use it to create a development environment, run your test suite, etc. Run it locally and in your continuous integration pipeline.
  • Typical: a cross-language serialization framework based on algebraic data types. It's like Protocol Buffers or Apache Thrift, but with more type safety.
  • Docuum: a tool to perform least-recently used (LRU) deletion of Docker images to keep disk usage under some threshold. Run it on your laptop, continuous integration workers, production machines, etc.
  • Hashpass: a simple password manager which doesn't store any passwords.
  • Tagref: a linter that helps you manage cross-references in your code. It's a great way to level up your code health!

These are mature production-quality tools used by large organizations such as Netflix, Airbnb, and Notion. Bugs are always fixed with urgency, typically within hours of discovery. Community contributions are received with gratitude and constructive code review.

The development and maintenance of these tools is a substantial amount of work. Your sponsorship will go a long way to sustaining this effort. Thank you for your support, and please let me know if there is anything I can do to make these tools work better for you or your organization.
