Tykashi Introduction

June 11, 2025Jun 11

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself to the community!

I'm a developer with over 5 years of experience in real-world software development, and I'm now branching out into the world of OSBot scripting. I’ve always been drawn to building systems that automate, optimize, and solve problems. So naturally, OSBot scripting fits right in.

I’ve spent most of my career working with startups, where I thrive wearing many hats and moving fast. I love the energy, the creativity, and the ability to ship ideas without red tape. That mindset is what led me here. I want to experiment, build cool automation tools, and contribute to this community while learning a new side of Java development.

I've owned several large-scale projects, most notably:

- Rewriting a codebase from JavaScript to Golang
- Overhauling a CI/CD pipeline from ~10-minute deploys to ~2 minutes using blue/green deployments

I'm a diehard Linux user and haven’t touched Windows as a daily driver in years (although I do run a Windows VM inside Linux for OSBot development, which I've already nibbled at, and I’m hooked).

My primary languages are Zig, JavaScript, and Golang, and I’m always exploring low-level, performance-first approaches with Zig. One of my favorite personal projects is ZLM (Zig Lifecycle Manager), a lightweight pseudo-dependency injection framework with structured lifecycle startup and shutdown for Zig applications. Ask me for my github to check it out, or find it yourself, it's not that hard.

“The most damaging phrase in the language is: ‘It’s always been done that way.’”
— Grace Hopper

Looking forward to sharing ideas, learning from you all, and contributing to the ecosystem. Feel free to reach out if you want to collaborate or geek out about dev stuff.

Cheers,
Tykashi
(oh, and Arch btw—because I have to live up to the stereotype)
