donatj/README.md

Hello!

I am a PHP, Go and TypeScript developer based in Minneapolis.

I work across the entire stack, but I’m happiest in the backend. Moving data, pushing bytes around, making things fast.

I ❤️ tiny reusable parts with single responsibilities and no side effects. I keep code simple, clear, and easy for anyone to read.

I’ve spent fifteen years in EdTech keeping old systems running and new ones from catching fire. Before that I built industrial and B2B tools where things had to work because people depended on them.

What I've been up to recently

I’ve been spending a lot of time improving Shielded.dev, adding bearer-token support, user token management, and a Preact dashboard while tightening the GitHub Action and CLI tooling around it. I’ve also been polishing a few personal Go tools, including macOS signing and packaging for mpo and Go 1.26 updates for sqlread. I added bearer-token shield updates and migrated the dashboard to Preact.

I’ve also been contributing to GitHub’s Node setup action by adding support for resolving the Node runtime from a JavaScript action’s action.yml. I added support for reading Node versions from action metadata.

What I have been thinking about

I’ve been thinking more about how good software still depends on careful review and deliberate guardrails. AI can help produce code, but I still want to understand what I’m committing, keep changes on the right branches, and treat testing and QA as essential parts of delivering working software.
