Hi, I'm Jeremiah! I have 8 years of experience in systems architecture and fullstack web development.
At my current company, I am responsible for leading the development of SVRunner, a software platform that powers some of the biggest, most iconic LED screens and art installations in the world. As an early employee, I was instrumental in founding and designing the initial product, including the GraphQL API and dynamic scheduling algorithms. Now I oversee the building of control systems and media players using a primarily web-based stack. On the frontend, I write code using React, Apollo, and Tailwind CSS to produce high-performance, fault-tolerant web applications. On the backend, I help create services running Node.js using Express and Apollo server frameworks, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and ElasticSearch databases, and FFmpeg for media processing. I collaborate on these solutions with design, product, QA, and marketing teams to make the best user experiences.
During my time at the company, I've spearheaded many developer quality-of-life improvements including a full code migration to TypeScript, a consolidation of repositories to a unified monorepo, a switch from webpack to ESBuild and Rollup, and most recently an adoption of Turborepo to improve build times and streamline releases. I would love to help bring about these kinds of changes to a new company.
I've worked hard to hone the skills I have, but I know I still have a lot to learn and I'm eager to grow my skills within the unique needs of a new organization!
We’ve been following a similar process for our internal tools and have found it to be a good solution. Manually including native libraries is probably the only lousy part. Out of curiosity, what are you using to achieve the windows service installation? We’ve been using nssm, which has worked okay, but I’m curious if there’s a better way of doing it.
if the progress of prettier (js) over the past few years is any indicator of what will happen with black, there will likely be incremental improvements in black that address the poor formatting cases you’re concerned about. i remember when prettier first came out, i was not convinced until my “standard” for formatting was met. but it was met eventually.
TouchDesigner (https://www.derivative.ca/) or vvvv (https://vvvv.org/) are more comparable, since these systems DO work in realtime environments. But yeah, you still have to think in the context of SOPs, TOPs, CHOPs...
You cannot embed touchdesigner in a game engine (at last with ease). VVVV does not comes with abstraction over DOPs SOPs etc, but both are still very limited regarding what datatypes they can process.
Are you asking about Luna? :) Sure! Luna comes currently with its VM but we are also working on a backend allowing to compile it to machine code, so every graph you write can be also used as a library and called for example from C.
