BetterPractice.SqlCipher
A C# wrapper for SQLCipher with simple, built-in ORM functionality — encrypted SQLite for .NET.
Projects
Open-source work worth pointing at.
SqlCipherKit
A Swift wrapper around SQLCipher: an actor-isolated, encrypted SQLite database with lightweight ORM-like persistence and a composable query-builder API.
Forked from customerio/SqlCipherKit — the version I originally built while at Customer.io. Development continues here under BetterPractice, and the two are now maintained independently.
BattleSnake 2026
My PHP Tek 2026 Battlesnake — a PHP bot built around a deliberate, efficiency-minded strategy.
Built for PHP Tek 2026: the carefully-strategized half of a two-bot experiment, with heavy upfront design and hand-tuned efficiency. Later compared against SmokeyMist — the simpler bot that took the tournament — in a write-up that's still to come.
SmokeyMist
My PHP Tek 2026 Battlesnake and the tournament winner — a simple Swift/Vapor search bot that spent its full per-move time budget instead of relying on hand-tuned strategy.
Built for PHP Tek 2026, where it won the tournament. Deliberately simple: a search bot on Swift/Vapor that leaned on a faster runtime and used all of its available time each move — the foil to the elaborately-planned BattleSnake 2026. A deeper comparison of the two is coming as a blog post.
