About the service
I develop programs in Rebol and Red—two minimalist languages built around the idea that code should read like the task it solves. Where familiar stacks come with package managers, build chains, and megabytes of runtime, I deliver one script or a small, self-contained binary that does exactly one thing and does it well. Such an approach saves the day when you need quick automation, a parser for an awkward text format, or a small cross-platform utility that even a non-programmer on your team can open and understand. For years I've leaned on the expressive side of these languages: block structure, homoiconicity, and how a well-designed dialect turns a tangle of configuration into a few readable lines.
Most of my work is designing domain languages—small dialects that let you describe a workflow, report layout, validation rule, or device protocol in terms of your domain rather than smearing logic across generic code. Rebol's parse engine and Red's growing toolkit make such language-oriented programming surprisingly fast to prototype and cheap to maintain. I also handle practical wrapping: reading and transforming messy data, working with simple network services, generating files, and packaging everything in such a tiny footprint that it starts instantly and needs no installation. When a project outgrows a script, I keep the code clean, documented, and easy for the next person to extend.
If you favor tools that are light, understandable, and durable over frameworks that quickly age, I'm the specialist who will assemble you a little solution that keeps working. Describe the shape of your problem—and I'll propose the most compact thing that covers it.
— Scripts in Rebol 2 and Rebol 3, single-file automation utilities
— Red programming and cross-platform tool assembly
— Domain language and dialect design with parse foundation
— Text and data parsing, format conversion, report generation
— Tiny binaries with no dependencies for Windows, Linux, and macOS
— Refactoring, documentation, and maintenance of existing Rebol or Red code
