Hi, I'm Dick πŸ‘‹

I build developer experience β€” as a human discipline, not just a tooling problem. My work is helping engineers do their best work: onboarded fast, growing through community, shipping with frontier tools.

I've spent over 15 years in open source and developer communities, and they left me with one conviction: community β€” internal or external β€” is how people grow, and how valuable work finds its audience.

My own projects live where Unix minimalism meets AI-native engineering: small systems for running, instructing, and measuring autonomous agent teams. 🐑

  • Forward Impact β€” define an engineering standard once; derive roles, career paths, and measurement from it.
  • Kata β€” an autonomous coding agent team that runs a daily improvement cycle on its codebase.
  • Gemba β€” the runtime harness for agent teams: read traces, keep memory, measure outcomes.
  • Jidoka β€” instruction architecture for AI agents; quality built into every layer.
  • FuguBSD β€” small tools after the OpenBSD model, growing toward a permissively licensed agent stack.
  • OpenHAP β€” a HomeKit bridge for OpenBSD, built entirely from base components.

πŸ“« Open to conversations about DevEx, engineering communities, Unix, and AI-native teams.
