PROFILE

Dan Mackinlay

Worked on the tobi/qmd repository to deliver user experience and reliability enhancements for command-line workflows. Developed features enabling JSON-formatted search results with line-number metadata, allowing direct navigation from terminal output to code editors. Added support for OSC8 hyperlinks in CLI search results, streamlining the process of opening files in editors directly from the terminal and supporting custom URI templates via environment or configuration. Addressed a test case sensitivity issue in the CLI ls command to improve cross-platform reliability. Utilized TypeScript, Node.js, and JSON formatting, with a focus on robust testing, terminal emulation, and configuration management practices.
