Vitruvian-style pencil illustration of Klaymen, from The Neverhood Klaymen — MK1

Marc Brooks

(former) Director of IT & Software Engineering Lead — 1904labs / Turnberry Labs

I fix things at the protocol layer: like a path-traversal hole in a 57.4k-star media server, USB gadget recovery in remote-KVM firmware, allocation behavior in a logging library, sort order in the .NET runtime's JSON serializer. I maintain a JS library installed 1,013,664 times a month. I know networking, DNS, and AI inside and out.

Claude Code plugin authoring Agentic workflow design Architecture decision records

Builds Claude Code plugins (a transcript exporter, an Android-dev plugin), applies human-centered agile practice to agent workflows (hcd-agile-ai), and runs shipped work through Claude as a documented engineering discipline — the Mind the Gaps plugin carries 20+ architecture decision records written alongside the code that explain every non-obvious call.
