Dev Doodles
A collection of my dev doodles
- What? A protoc plugin to translate protobuf definitions into SBE XML.
- Why? At QFEX, I had to migrate many grpc streams to raw SBE over TCP and UDP. This allowed me to avoid handrolling the translation for a lot of messages
- What? A small interactive visualisation for detecting layer 2 packet queueing from packet timing.
- Why? A companion demo for the packet queueing blog post
# grpcexp
- What? An interactive TUI explorer for interacting with gRPC servers, built on top of grpcurl.
- Why? I really like grpcurl but found it tedious to run multiple commands just to make one gRPC call, especially with a complex request type.
# bus
- What? A simple CLI tool to check London bus arrivals from the terminal.
- Why? Checking bus times on my phone was annoying. Much faster to just type it in the terminal.
- What? A TextFSM and Jinja template playground built with Go and WASM.
- Why? Across multiple roles, I’ve often worked with TextFSM and Jinja templates. I wanted a cleaner, Vimium-friendly UI that keeps all data local to the browser .
# clocks
- What? A CLI tool for viewing the time in different timezones. Allows for configuring different timezones and colors
- Why? Being on call at Jump required me to read logs and timestamps from different timezones and they weren’t always normalized to UTC. much quicker to just type
cthan lift my head up and look at the different clocks
- What? An interactive implementation of Conway’s Game of Life, a Turing Complete cellular automaton. Built with React and TailwindCSS.
- Why? I was procrastinating doing my uni coursework
