PROFILE

Alex Feijoo

During February 2026, Alejandro Feijoo focused on improving file path handling in the ghostty-org/ghostty macOS application. He addressed a persistent issue where file paths containing a tilde were not properly expanded, leading to errors when users attempted to open files. By leveraging Swift and Objective-C interoperability, Alejandro integrated NSString’s expandingTildeInPath method directly into the file-opening workflow. This targeted fix ensured that file URLs were constructed only after tilde expansion, reducing user friction and potential support incidents. His work demonstrated a strong grasp of Swift, macOS development, and platform-specific APIs, delivering a robust and maintainable solution to a nuanced problem.

February 2026 monthly summary for ghostty-org/ghostty. Delivered a reliable macOS file-opening fix by expanding tilde paths (~) to the user’s home directory before URL construction, eliminating errors when opening files. Implemented with Swift/Objective-C interoperability using NSString.expandingTildeInPath and integrated directly into the file-opening workflow (commit b65261eb6643ace961e5ea548c329b3cbd646c40). This improvement reduces user friction for macOS workflows and decreases support incidents related to file path handling. Demonstrated focus on robustness, precise platform-specific fixes, and clear commit documentation. Technologies/skills demonstrated include Swift, Objective-C interop, NSString APIs, and macOS app development. Repositories: ghostty-org/ghostty.
