A collection of easy-to-understand guides to programming tools

👋 I'm Suzi Curran

I'm a creative and practical developer living in Boston, MA. I worked at Wayfair from 2017 to 2023 as a senior software engineer and built scalable, performant services to support a catalog of millions of products. You can read more about my work.

I've recently returned from a 3-month sabbatical in Japan and am getting back into frontend work with a TypeScript project.
You can 🈁 follow along as I build tools to manage my personal Japanese lexicon.

I also greatly enjoy open source development and professionally contributed to several C# projects now in enterprise use:

• 🅰️ AeroSharp, which provides features like serialization and compression on top of the .NET Aerospike client
• 🗣️ Gossip, which adds to Dapper's functionality for quick and easy queries on your relational DB of choice
• 📃 WaySON, which extends the basic serialization/deserialization functionality of System.Text.Json with support for missing types

In addition, I also developed and maintain mod tooling for the 2022 indie game "I Was a Teenage Exocolonist":

• 📦 ExomodPackager, which packages .exo file changes as patches for distribution
• 🚀 ExomodLoader, which handles for both game and mod version updates, mod conflicts, and more
