Developer portfolio examples with the work still in the sentence.

Minimal — type, then the repositories

The page opens on what Alex is building, then two GitHub cards he describes himself: Ink, and the Harbor CLI. A talk link and a contact form sit under that. Nothing here is a contribution graph.

Why this works.

• Lead with the current work. Link the repo. Do not paste the README.

Minimal

Languages, tools, and the notes between them

I design small languages and the CLIs that keep them honest. Currently at Harbor Labs, previously on the typechecker for a research notebook that got out of hand in the best way.

San Francisco

Now

Building Ink, a typed notebook format for people who write with code sitting next to the sentence. Harbor is the CLI around it — evals, snapshots, and a boringly reliable local workflow.

GitHub

harbor-labs/ink

A typed notebook format. Prose, code, and tests in one file that still diffs like a human wrote it.

TypeScript · local-first

GitHub

harbor-labs/harbor

The CLI for Ink: run, snapshot, and compare notebooks without standing up a service.

Rust · CLITypes as documentation — Northshore ConfTalk notes and slides

Writing

Occasional notes on type systems that stay out of the way, local-first tools, and why most developer portfolios look like résumé PDFs with extra steps.

Studio — the same blocks, less daylight

This is still Alex. Studio darkens the page and changes the pace. The projects do not become more impressive because the background is dark. Use it when the work already has atmosphere.

Why this works.

• Change the template only after the sentences are true.
