Dev

I build tools that feel alive — CLI tools, TUIs, developer utilities, and open-source systems in Go, Python, and Rust. If it runs in the terminal, I’m interested.

About

I’m DominionDev — a solo developer, student, and FOSS lover with a strong focus on building clean, structured, and reusable software. I approach development as more than writing code — I think in terms of architecture, system boundaries, logic, and long-term evolution.

I work heavily with CLI and TUI applications, tools and libraries. I enjoy working in the terminal, but that doesn’t mean I only work there. My goal is to build tools that are useful in real development workflows, easy to extend, opinionated where clarity matters — and beautiful.

A defining part of my work is a theory-driven approach to software design. I often create internal frameworks and mental models to guide how systems are built — helping me reason clearly about responsibilities, replaceability, service lifecycles, and orchestration, even in small or local-first projects.

I believe good open-source software should feel reliable, not magical. Transparent, well-structured, and built with other developers in mind.

Philosophy

Modularity

Systems should be composed of independent parts. Nothing so coupled it can’t be improved.

Clarity

Code should explain itself through structure. Cleverness is only valid when it makes things clearer.

Beauty

Stylish interfaces give a calm and motivated feeling. Beauty is not decoration — it is respect for the user.

Aliveness

Tools should feel fast and alive. Open source matters. Build tools you can actually use.
