Hi there!

I'm Nico. A polyglot software developer based in London, UK.

I’m currently working on:

• Taffy - a standalone layout library in Rust implementing the Flexbox and CSS Grid algorithms
• Blessed.rs - a curated guide to the Rust ecosystem

Examples of my work

If you are looking for examples of my work, then you may wish to look at the following:

Taffy | 2D Layout Engine (Rust) | 2023

• The source code in the src/compute/grid directory is all mine
• The 200+ associated text fixtures (those whose name begins with grid)
• The tracking issue for the CSS feature.
• Some selected individual Pull Requests:
  • The MVP CSS Grid implementation
  • Test-driven correctness fixes:
    • Grid/refactor coordinate handling
    • Grid: Fix percent sizing
    • Fixes for aspect ratio and min/max sizes
    • Grid: Fixes for minmax, fr proportions and distributing space across multiple tracks
  • Performance benchmarking and optimisation:
    • CSS Grid Benchmarks
    • Optimise CSS Grid
    • Grid: single track span optimisation
  • Improvements to the pre-existing Flexbox implementation:
    • Layout algorithm decoupling, Sizing Constraints & Perf Improvements
    • Implement gap property for flexbox algorithm
    • Fix sizing of flexbox nodes under a min-content constraint
• Full list of Pull Requests

Knex.js | Query Builder (TypeScript) | 2022

• My PR to add UPSERT support to knex.js

GhostEdit | WYSIWYG Editor (JavaScript) | 2010

• GhostEdit - an open source WYSIWYG editor (but bear in mind that this was written way back in 2010, and was targeting IE6+ and thus was unable to use even ES5 features).
