About Me
I'm Justin, a software engineer passionate about programming languages, open source, and developer tools. I'm a core team member of inklang, a compiled scripting language for game development, where I work on the language runtime, package ecosystem, and tooling.
I also contribute to OpenClaw, building AI agent automation skills for GitHub and developer productivity. My background spans full-stack development, machine learning research, and Minecraft plugin development with 1,000+ total downloads.
Currently a senior at CSU Bakersfield, I've served as a TA for Data Structures and led the ACM chapter. I love building tools that make developers' lives easier and contributing to the open source community.
