🎯 Primary Focus: Docs, Onboarding, and Developer Experience

Small, fixed-scope engagements that reduce developer friction.

• Docs audits: identify gaps, unclear pages, and missing “golden path” steps
• Onboarding improvements: quickstart + integrations + troubleshooting that people actually finish
• API clarity: tighten reference + examples so developers succeed faster

My default mode is async-friendly work with concrete deliverables and a defined finish line.

• Goal: a lightweight diagnostic that helps teams evaluate docs readiness and prioritize fixes
• Current: improving intake → backend report workflow → clearer recommendations
• Why: a fast starting point for teams who know docs are a bottleneck but don’t know where to start

@watthem/fieldtest

Schema validation toolkit for content-rich and docs-heavy systems.

@frontjs/core

A small, secure-by-default micro-framework experiment (migrated from @watthem/frontjs).

Matchstick

Explorations in event/data tooling and developer ergonomics for finance-related systems.

• Ship: tighten Docs-Score report workflow and polish the consulting intake path
• Publish: a couple short docs/DX writeups (before/after clarity wins)
• OSS: small, steady improvements to FieldTest and Front.js docs + examples

If you’re a startup with docs/onboarding friction, I can usually help quickly with a clear micro-scope.
