Trying to give back something to the community.

👋 Hi, I'm HawkForge

I work on open source. I look for bugs that people actually run into, trace each one back to its root cause, and send a small fix with a test that proves it. Most of it is PHP and TypeScript, with some Go along the way.

🛠️ How I work

• Root cause first. Fix why it breaks, not only where it shows.
• Proof in a test. Every fix comes with a test that fails without it.
• Small diffs. No drive-by reformatting, no unrelated changes.
• Respect the maintainers. Follow the project's guide and style, and keep up with reviews.

🔭 Right now

Most of my time goes to dompdf, the HTML to PDF library for PHP: fixing font handling and HTML5 parsing bugs, and helping it support more modern CSS.
