What I Build

The Bengal Ecosystem

I build the Bengal stack — a Python-native web stack for 3.14+ free-threading. Every layer is pure Python, typed, and designed for the modern runtime.

ᓚᘏᗢ	Bengal	Static site generator — notebooks, autodoc, incremental builds
⌁⌁	Chirp	Web framework — HTML over the wire, htmx, streaming
=^..^=	Pounce	ASGI server — free-threading native, HTTP/2, WebSocket
)彡	Kida	Template engine — Jinja2-compatible, AST-native
ฅᨐฅ	Patitas	Markdown parser — typed AST, ReDoS-safe, CommonMark
⌾⌾⌾	Rosettes	Syntax highlighter — lock-free, 55+ languages

Python-native. Free-threading ready. No npm required.

What I Do

I write and engineer documentation for developer products. I've shipped docs at:

NVIDIA	AI (NeMo)
HPE	Enterprise AI Solutions
Pachyderm	Data pipelines
Bolt Financial	Fintech
Litify	Legal Tech
Metricly	Cloud monitoring
ncino	Banking platform

I've used and migrated between just about everything: Salesforce Knowledge, Zendesk Guide, Hugo (golang), Sphinx (RST/Myst), MKdocs, Docusaurus, and Fern (MDX). I believe that documentation is both a product in its own right and fundamentally data at its core. It needs strategy and planning and can suffer from "tech debt" like any other project when corners are cut.
