At Frontier R&D, I build and maintain developer tools that empower Bible translators around the world. My work spans three key projects:
Codex Editor
I maintain a whitelabeled VSCode build (genesis-ai-dev/codex) used as a platform for custom extensions for translating resources. This involves implementing Windows code signing and various patches to customize the editor into a tailored translation tool.
Web Codex
I built a scalable Kubernetes platform (genesis-ai-dev/web-codex) to host Codex Editor instances online, removing the requirement for local installation. This allows translators to access their workspace from any browser without needing to set up a local development environment.
Extension Sideloader
I built a custom extension (andrewhertog/extension-sideloader) into the Codex binary that automatically installs a specific set of extensions, eliminating the need to bundle them into the binary while providing a natural VSCode-like extension management experience.
