Open source
I'm jdattilo on
GitHub — since September 2011.
My open-source pattern has been consistent for fifteen years: build something for a real need, prove it in production, then release the parts other people keep asking about. The DHT11 library came out of selling actual sensors to actual hobbyists who needed working code more than they needed a datasheet; it outlived the company that shipped it. The Cattle Suite is enterprise test infrastructure that earned its keep inside Dell before it earned a public repo. And the FleetHarbor suite cores are open because agent-facing infrastructure has to be inspectable — you should not have to trust a black box that holds your credentials and mediates your git transport.
Projects
DHT11LIB
An Arduino library for the DHT11 temperature/humidity sensor, released in 2011 during the Virtuabotix years. Forked, taught, and cited across the hobby-electronics community for over a decade.
The Cattle Suite ("OpenPastures")
The distributed test harness I built on Dell’s Fluid Cache team — AE2, CATTLE, COW, COWTRACKS, and B2EB: test execution, cluster registry, log collection, and datacenter-wide build monitoring for multi-node storage clusters. When the Dell–EMC merger wound our division down, I fought the release through Dell’s legal process and won — the whole suite went up on Dell’s official open-source site on May 12, 2016, where it still lives today. Dell filed it under "OpenPastures" (the cow jokes were going hard). I wrote essentially every line, years before AI could help. Mirrored on my GitHub in 2026.
The FleetHarbor suite (Apache-2.0 cores)
RepoHarbor and TaskHarbor ship with open-source Apache-2.0 cores — mediated git for agent fleets, and the human+agent work queue. Openly developed, agent-operable by design.
More of my current work is opening up as the FleetHarbor suite products reach general availability — the Apache-2.0 cores land publicly with each GA, licensing chosen deliberately so teams can audit, self-host, and fork the infrastructure their agents depend on. Watch GitHub or the now page for releases as they go public.
