Hi, I'm Scott! I'm a passionate software engineer with a background as a professional musician.
I have broad experience as a React developer, backend developer, cloud architect, DevOps owner, and so on, for startups and the enterprise. TypeScript is my main language of choice.
Check out pacwich, a CLI and API for managing JS/TS monorepos that works directly with Bun, npm, or pnpm workspaces and orchestrates plain package.json scripts. This is a continuation of my original package bun-workspaces which only integrated with Bun.
I don't use AI to talk to you, so none of what is written here was generated. The same goes for my blog. I also greatly value art that retains the human touch, my profile picture not being AI but made by the same artist that designed the pacwich mascot.
You can see plainly that I do use AI tooling, especially since pacwich has four different LLM integrations for its documentation. My goal is to generate code to save typing, holding the same standards of the code generated I would if I was writing it by hand, imposing strict coding guidelines that I frequently criticize and polish myself, believing that the same engineering principles I've used my whole career apply to both people and agents.
I also write the vast majority of documentation content myself, as I believe I should be able to describe the specs I own in detail. My goal is to be a true steward and owner of my code, as I believe if I can't work without an LLM, I'm no longer the true leader of a project.
pacwich is supply chain open source, not a prototype pet project. I don't believe I can blindly trust critical open source code to AI, and so I treat it with the reality that is today, not something like a hypothetical reality a year from now. I don't mind deep review being my bottleneck, because some bottlenecks need to exist. bun-workspaces was written almost entirely by hand by myself, and pacwich inherits that structure that has helped ensure predictable changes across a consistent codebase that agents now work with smoothly thanks its opinionated foundations.
