Portrait of Danny Reina wearing glasses

Danny Reina

Software Engineer · Frontend & full-stack · New York

Thoughtful interfaces.
Dependable systems.

Frontend and full-stack engineering, from live financial-planning workflows at New York Life to reusable infrastructure at Google.

The interactive workshop

One broken change.
Your next good fix.

Step into a small repository with a failing test. Follow the clues, fix the config editor, and bring it back to green.

Type commands in the fictional command line and use “Hint” to guide you to the next step. Or if you are a seasoned engineer try to solve it without hint. No terminal experience needed

Ready when you are

Your next small challenge

Find the broken config. Repair the working copy. Bring the tests back to green.

  1. Inspect the failure
  2. Repair the config

TERMINALJavaScript · local shell

Interactive terminal not started. Download this HTML file and open it in your browser to try the commands.

Tab completes · ↑ ↓ history · Ctrl+L clears · Shift+Tab leaves the input

When the terminal is ready, help lists commands and initialize starts the repair challenge.

What’s being engineered?

A virtual filesystem with absolute and relative paths; a shell tokenizer for quotes, flags, and literal-text grep pipelines; immutable historical snapshots; an editable working copy; and tests that validate the actual config. Explicit state transitions track inspection, repair, and verification. History and output are bounded. All files, Git commands, and test results belong to this browser simulation.
