Creator and maintainer of GitMesh, a new lab under LF Decentralized Trust that transforms market surveillance into actionable Git commits. As the youngest lab leader in LFDT history, I'm building the AI infrastructure that helps developer companies decide what to build next by watching every social signals and ranking what matters. Open Source Summit Korea/Japan 2025, OpenSearchCon Korea 2025, and GitHub's Open Source Friday 2026. Full-time founder obsessed with open source and AI.

Market Intelligence That Speaks Git: Building Dev-First Search with OpenSearch
Open source teams build great software but often struggle with a simple question: What should we build next? GitMesh began as a community experiment inside LF Decentralized Trust to answer that using search, not guesswork. We monitor conversations across GitHub, Reddit, X, Discord, Stack Overflow, HN, and Product Hunt, then use OpenSearch to classify signals, rank what matters, and turn them into actionable GitHub issues with real context.
This session shares how we built this in the open: a multi-tenant search architecture that can serve many OSS projects, nested OpenSearch documents that track both market signals and contributor history, and the event-driven pipeline that keeps everything in sync. I’ll show the queries we use to connect “what the community wants” to “which contributors can build it,” how we handle unpredictable schema changes through versioned indices, and the lessons learned building this transparently within LFDT. The goal is simple: give open source maintainers a practical, reproducible way to understand community demand and route work to the right contributors using OpenSearch.
GitMesh: Searching 1000+ Signals/Week and Matching Them to Dev Capacity with OpenSearch
GitMesh processes thousands of social signals every week—feature requests, bugs, competitor updates, and developer sentiment and turns them into ranked, actionable GitHub issues. Under the hood, OpenSearch is the backbone that makes this possible. This session walks through how we operate OpenSearch to support two demanding workloads: real-time indexing of unpredictable cross-platform signals, and fast search across developer profiles to match the right person to the right task.
You'll see how GitMesh manages versioned indices for zero-downtime migrations, dynamic field mapping for messy integration data, and nested documents representing both market signals and developer histories. We’ll break down our indexing pipeline (Postgres → SQS → workers → OpenSearch), our shard strategy, our caching and aliasing patterns, and the aggregation queries that connect market demand to engineering capacity. This is a practical, architecture-first look at operating OpenSearch in a system where search isn’t a feature, it is the product.
Beyond the README: Scaling OSS Projects Contribution with Conversational AI
The sustainability of many open-source projects is threatened by a steep learning curve for new contributors and overwhelming administrative loads on maintainers. This session explores a novel approach to mitigate these challenges. As a former Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (LFDT) mentee, I will present a case study of an intelligent system I developed, born directly from the real-world onboarding issues I faced as a contributor. We will demonstrate how a conversational AI, integrated with a project's repository, can serve as an intelligent onboarding partner. Instead of navigating complex codebases alone, contributors can ask questions in natural language to understand development history and receive context-aware guidance. Attendees will learn how to design systems that lower the barrier to entry, automate routine tasks, and allow maintainers to focus on high-impact leadership.
