Matthew · GitHub theworker02
Building next-generation developer tools, languages, systems software, and focused open-source utilities.
This is my personal GitHub: theworker02. I build languages, diagnostics, systems software, developer infrastructure, and compact utilities in the open.
I founded Magnexis, the company/org behind a broader catalog of open-source work. Repositories under theworker02/* are my personal projects; the wider Magnexis ecosystem lives at github.com/Magnexis.
Software should not be a black box.
My JavaScript/TypeScript package distribution is moving to JSR with GitHub Actions trusted publishing and OIDC provenance.
JSR scope: @theworker02
| Package | Purpose | Registry |
|---|---|---|
| envshape | Typed environment and dotenv validation | @theworker02/envshape |
| pagesmark | GitHub Pages starter generation | @theworker02/pagesmark |
| bytesize | SI/IEC byte parsing and conversion | @theworker02/bytesize |
| fixturefreeze | Deterministic fixture freeze and compare | @theworker02/fixturefreeze |
| runledger | Append-only command execution receipts | @theworker02/runledger |
These packages use documented ESM entrypoints, typed public APIs, generated JSR symbol documentation, and secretless trusted publishing from GitHub Actions.

Work ships as inspectable, MIT-oriented open source whenever it can. Read it, run it locally, disagree with it, and improve it.
