I'm building public domain, open source tools, mostly in Python.
I want to make working with computers more intuitive, faster, easier, and less stressful.
My main project is migra, a schema comparison tool for PostgreSQL.
I've written several other python modules too:

sqlakeyset: The only offset-free, multi-direction, multi-column paging plugin for SQLAlchemy
logx: A fully configuration free logging library
autovenv: An automatic virtual environment manager
pgnotify: Easily listen to PostgreSQL NOTIFY messages
emailx: Wrapper over the standard library to make email sending simple
results: A jack-of-all trades library for working with databases and tabular data
ratemate: A small, simple yet advanced rate limiting module

I'm also interested in developing new, radically different user interfaces for software development. I'm working on instant-feedback coding experience in Python, built for the purposes of promoting better software development interfaces. I discussed this at PyCon Australia: Instant-feedback, instant-debugging Python coding. This isn't open sourced yet: but with enough sponsorship, that could become feasible.
I've put many hours of voluntary work into designing and building migra and other tools, without financial reward: It's a labour of love.
Help support better software for the public good by supporting my efforts.
