TinyOps

A declarative YAML rule engine for engineering teams. Policies as code, shadow-mode evaluation, multi-tenant by design, with first-class integrations across GitHub, Vercel, and Slack. Approximately 180k lines of TypeScript across a pnpm and Turborepo monorepo. Built and shipped solo.

• Architected the rule engine: trigger / condition / action grammar, twelve operators including glob matching, shadow to live promotion gates
• Built the agent layer: published tinyops-mcp-server (MIT, 13 MCP tools, on npm) so any AI client (Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT) can manage TinyOps rules in natural language
• Failure-mode discipline: 2,700+ tests across api and web (100% passing), TypeScript-strict, structured self-review on every phase
