Activity¶
A year-by-year look at my public open-source work, taken from GitHub commit history.
About these numbers
Yearly figures are GitHub contribution counts. These leave out commits made under email addresses that aren't linked to my account, so earlier years are undercounted. Lifetime per-repository totals are listed on the Projects page. Data as of October 2026.

How the work has evolved¶
2016–2019: Windows automation and Ansible tooling¶
My early public work came out of making Windows workstations into real engineering environments: supracmd, bert.docs (interactive HTA documents) and portable Ansible on Cygwin. That led to ansible-taskrunner. 2019 was its biggest year, with more than 100 commits and 112 pull requests as it became a mature, PyPI-published CLI framework.
2021–2023: Reusable libraries and learning platforms¶
I pulled common pieces out into libraries I could publish, such as bert.config, bert.sshutil and bert.ecli. I also built bert.bill and later bert.dashboard, React + Flask platforms for interactive technical lessons with a live web terminal.
2024: Moving to Go¶
I ported my Python tools to Go to get single-binary distribution: bert.cheater, bert.tasks and the bert.yamlcli library underneath them.
2025–present: Operations tooling, AI and data¶
Output picked up sharply, to more than 350 contributions across two years. The main threads:
- Operational rigor. bert.validator for manifest-driven validation, distributed via Homebrew, and bert.ops-command to standardize team scripts.
- AI engineering. Local LLMs, MCP servers and a Grafana AI-analysis plugin in bert.ai.
- Data and analysis. Automated financial and market analysis in bert.finance.
- Developer platform. GitHub CLI tooling (bert.git-cli), OS keychain integration (bert.credmgr) and continued work on bert.zsh.
