What I Worked on Recently

Personal Tinkering


Week 19, 2026

This week I focused heavily on building out the new Woo Mobile AI assistant for WooCommerce iOS. I developed a headless test harness and a robust smoke test skill that programmatically validates the AI assistant's real-world behavior, streamlining regression checks and accelerating development feedback. On the feature side, I implemented a full chat backend, a SwiftUI message surface with design tokens, and complex state management to support multi-turn conversations, safe tool execution, and confirmation flows for destructive actions. I also shipped key orchestration pieces including streaming chat transport, production-ready tool definitions for reads and writes, a two-level safety policy, and the orchestration loop with replay protections. Additionally, I contributed cross-platform consistency work by introducing a sliding-window history budgeter and resolved a long-standing web view bug impacting Stripe popups. On the WooCommerce PHP side, I opened a PR to improve POS order channel detection, further extending multi-channel support.
