I genuinely love producing open source software. There is something deeply satisfying about taking an idea, building it properly, and then putting it out there for anyone to learn from, improve, or use in ways I never expected. Open source feels like an honest conversation with other developers, particularly those working with Linux, systems programming, data, and the web. I try to write code that is readable, practical, and genuinely useful, whether it is a small utility or a more opinionated experiment. Everything I release is shared openly on my GitHub at github.com/andydixon.

A few projects give a good sense of the sort of work I enjoy:

• lookingglass-rs is a Rust-based project focused on a browser based shell for Linux systems, designed with security and performance in mind.
• honeybadger is a practical tool aimed at saturating phishing sites with invalid data.
• mode7 is a fun but technically interesting experiment inspired by classic graphics techniques - started off as a homage to POEM on the BBC Microcomputer but evolved.
• wordle and sudoku are clean implementations of familiar games, written with clarity and correctness firmly in mind.
• nationalgrid explores working with real-world data, pushing to VictoriaMetricsproviding data to visualise and analyse the UK's electricity grid in Grafana.
• webhook provides a lightweight service for capturing webhooks and callbacks and sending them to email
• neoCMS is a simple, database-less, developer-friendly content management system that deliberately avoids unnecessary complexity.

Each project scratches a slightly different itch, but they all share the same goal: useful software shared freely. If any of it proves helpful, sparks curiosity, or inspires an idea of your own, then it has done exactly what I hoped it would do.
