Hello Dev.to! A Quick Intro & What I’m Building

Hi everyone! I’m Kiefer Waight, a full-stack software engineer specializing in Node.js, TypeScript, and automation on macOS. Over the years, I’ve focused on building modular, maintainable, and scalable developer tools and workflows that make coding more efficient and enjoyable.

I work extensively with:

  • Nx-managed monorepos using PNPM Jsonnet for clean, reusable config management
  • Bash scripting combined with tools like argc and Karabiner-Elements for terminal automation
  • AI integrations via OpenAI APIs to supercharge developer productivity
  • Hybrid Neovim + VSCode setups for modal editing and custom tooling

On Dev.to, I’ll be sharing practical guides, code examples, and deep dives on:

  • Building robust automation and terminal UI tools
  • Configuring and managing large-scale monorepos
  • Leveraging Jsonnet and scripting to simplify complex setups
  • Integrating AI into development workflows

I’m excited to connect with other developers passionate about clean, pragmatic engineering and to exchange ideas on improving our daily workflows.

Stay tuned for my next post where I’ll walk through building a modular Jsonnet library for VSCode settings profiles!

Feel free to reach out or comment - I’m always open to collaborations and discussions.

Thanks for reading! 🚀
