Patents are one form of intellectual property. The other is code anyone can read, fork, and run. I publish working software under the GitHub handle shah: content engineering libraries, type-safety toolkits, health IT standards bindings, and the delivery frameworks I use on real engagements. It is the most direct evidence that the strategy advice comes from someone still writing code.
Mostly TypeScript · Go · Shell · Python · Perl
Content engineering & orchestration
Libraries for harvesting, classifying, modeling, and persisting content at scale.
- shah/uniform-resourceTypeScriptUniform resource transformers for content orchestration engines.
- shah/queryable-contentTypeScriptQueryable HTML content for content orchestration engines.
- shah/content-modelTypeScriptContent modeling library for CSV, JSON, and other structured data.
- shah/ts-content-classificationTypeScriptContent classification library.
- shah/tsn-periodicalsTypeScriptManage newsletters and other periodicals such as tweets and RSS feeds.
- shah/content-harvester-utilsGoURL content harvesting utilities.
Type safety & code generation
The typing, inspection, and generation primitives behind everything else.
- shah/ts-safetyTypeScriptSafe types library for TypeScript.
- shah/ts-inspectTypeScriptTypesafe inspection library for TypeScript.
- shah/tsd-typed-data-genTypeScriptTyped data generator.
- shah/ts-safe-templateTypeScriptTemplate literal based text generator.
- shah/ts-pipeTypeScriptContext-aware, pipe-based typesafe object transformation and enrichment.
- shah/ts-safe-http-clientTypeScriptSafe HTTP client with typed responses.
Health IT & standards
Bindings and parsers for the standards regulated products have to speak.
- shah/ts-lhncbc-lformsTypeScriptTypeScript definitions for NIH Lister Hill Center (LHC) Forms.
- shah/schema-orgGoSchema.org metadata parsing package.
- shah/open-schemaEntity-attribute-value based open schema for relational databases.
- shah/program-inventory-experimentsPythonMachine learning and NLP experiments for classifying legislative and budget narrative text.
Engineering & delivery frameworks
The opinionated scaffolding I use to stand up environments and ship systems.
- shah/appliance-setup-frameworkShellOpinionated setup of developer sandboxes, QA VMs, and standalone servers.
- shah/rdbms-schema-migration-frameworkShellGenerates database schema migration files loadable into any relational engine.
- shah/container-config-frameworkMakefileGenerates container configuration files for Docker, AWS ECS, and other engines.
- shah/static-site-publishing-frameworkMakefileOpinionated publishing pipeline for static site generators.
- shah/vscode-teamTypeScriptEditor utilities for collaboration across teams and projects.
- shah/docs-generatorPerlDocument generator for files with special naming conventions.
