Hi! I'm Wolf Mermelstein

Hi! I’m Wolf. I’m a CWRU student and Recurse alum with a passion for developer tooling, coding and hacking, a love of strategy board games, and overall enjoyer of creating, designing, engineering, geeking, making, and figuring things out.

Information, projects, contacts, my resume, and more can be found on this website. If you have any questions, feel free to email!

Greetings! I’m Wolf, a CS student at Case Western with a passion for creating and using developer tooling, particularly at its intersection with webdev.

Most recently, I have been interning at Val Town, a fun and flexible serverless JS functions (FASS) platform. Before that, I completed a batch at Recurse Center, a NYC based self-driven programming retreat.

My expertise is gluing together complicated tools and systems in pursuit of delightful developer experiences. I love jumping into unfamiliar pits of complexity and debugging across layers of abstraction.

The problems I find most interesting are generally devx ones; build systems, CLIs, Devops. I’m also interested in fullstack, particularly projects that serve unique and uncommon purposes, or do things in unconventional ways, and generally with emphasis on networking and infra. I’m a big fan of Nix, and enjoy reproducibility, declarative-ness, and developer ergonomics.
