I am a full stack engineer based in Boston, MA with experience in a range of technologies, including TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Go, and React. Previously, I worked within academia and analyzed healthcare data, where I realized that I enjoyed breaking down problems and building solutions to complex challenges.
More recently, I built Willow, an open-source, self-hosted framework which updates caches in near real-time.
Willow is an open-source, self-hosted framework for building Change Data Capture pipelines, updating caches in near real-time based on changes in a database.
Willow abstracts away the complexity of setting up and configuring open-source tools like Debezium and Apache Kafka. Utilizing log-based Change Data Capture, Willow non-invasively monitors changes in a user's PostgreSQL database and reflects those row-level changes in a user's Redis cache. Without requiring in-depth technical knowledge and expertise, data pipelines can be created or deleted using Willow's web user interface, simplifying setup and teardown.
