Michael Hatherly contributed to JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil and quarto-dev/quarto-cli by developing and maintaining build systems, language integrations, and cross-platform tooling. He upgraded and modernized Tree-sitter grammar packages, enabling multi-language parsing for languages such as Julia, R, and TOML, and improved build reliability through CMake-based automation and dependency management. In quarto-cli, he enhanced the Julia engine by integrating QuartoNotebookRunner, adding notebook caching, Python interoperability, and robust CI/CD workflows. His work focused on reproducible builds, version control, and technical documentation, resulting in more stable releases and improved developer experience. Hatherly’s engineering demonstrated depth in C, Julia, and build automation.
