About

Hi there

I’m Kungfu Panda — only without the actual kungfu. A developer who’s been writing code for a while, and occasionally building small tools on the side.

Programming is both my work and my hobby. I have a soft spot for turning “kind of works” into “actually pleasant to use”, which is why I tend to ship apps alongside the tools that help me ship them.

This blog is where I collect technical notes, learning logs, and the occasional rabbit hole.

What I’m working on

🪟 aitm — AI in the terminal

A macOS desktop terminal app that puts AI capabilities directly into your terminal workflow. Multi-tab PTY terminal + AI sidebar + AI tool-calling loop: the AI can read files, search command history, and propose commands — but every high-risk action requires your explicit confirmation.

Stack: Tauri 2 + Rust + React 19 + TypeScript. Full details on the aitm product page.

📝 This blog

A pure static site built with Jekyll, hosted on GitHub Pages. The repo is public — theme, CI, security posture, and content are all there to reference.

Tech stack

• Primary languages: Python, TypeScript / JavaScript, Rust
• Frontend: React, Tailwind, the xterm.js ecosystem
• Desktop / systems: Tauri 2, PTY and terminal protocols, IPC design
• AI engineering: Working daily with multiple LLM APIs, tool calling, agent loops
• Infra: Git, Docker, GitHub Actions, Jekyll, static-site engineering

Daily tools: VS Code mostly, occasionally IntelliJ; zsh on the command line; and the terminal — well, that’s aitm, dogfooding while iterating.

Currently learning

• Making AI tool-calling reliable: from “kinda works in demo” to “actually useful day-to-day”
• Rust async ecosystem, Tauri internals
• The terminal protocol family (ANSI / OSC / PTY)
• Smoother content workflows and publishing pipelines

What you’ll find on this blog

• Tech notes — learning logs on languages, frameworks, tools
• How-tos — debugging approaches, best practices, lessons learned
• Project retrospectives — the real path from idea to ship
• The occasional essay — not strictly technical

Posting cadence is irregular, but I try to make every piece useful to read.

Interests

Outside of code:

• Reading (technical and otherwise)
• Tinkering with terminals, command lines, toolchains
• Following and occasionally contributing to open source

Let’s talk

If you’re working on any of these — I’d love to hear from you:

• Desktop / terminal tool development
• AI engineering, especially turning flashy demos into actually-useful workflows
• Rust + Tauri projects
• Static sites and personal publishing setups
