            <title><![CDATA[Airtable TS]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[I built Airtable TS as a tiny, fetch-based JS/TS client to replace Airtable’s unmaintained, Node-only SDK (which still relies on deprecated APIs like url.parse). It adds a type-safe façade, optional caching, and well-tested, signed releases so Airtable-backed research and data workflows are easier to write, safer to deploy, and reproducible over time.

            <title><![CDATA[Gravatar Worker]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[I built Gravatar Worker as a fast, cache-friendly Gravatar proxy on Cloudflare Workers to replace the official service’s slow origins, PNG-only avatars, hash-only API, and blocking in regions like mainland China. It lets developers self-host a gravatar-compatible endpoint that accepts raw emails, serves modern formats like AVIF/WebP, and uses edge caching to keep profile images responsive and under their control.

            <description><![CDATA[I am developing a coach-style LLM assistant that turns wet-lab researchers’ plain-English goals into safe Jubilee automation code. By bridging verified APIs with documentation-grounded logic, the system runs dry-run simulations and safety checks before execution, supporting a mixed-initiative workflow that balances automation with human oversight.

            <description><![CDATA[I led a cross-functional team to build SafePassage, a web app that lets travelers with medical conditions generate a QR code linking to a localized, read-only medical profile. When scanned, the code shows emergency-relevant information in the local language and triggers SMS alerts to chosen contacts via a serverless backend, giving clinicians enough context to act while preserving the traveler’s privacy and control.
