About
I’m Albert Najjar, a Lebanese-Canadian writer and software builder based in Montreal.
I write fiction and essays, and I build software. Right now most of that energy goes into a comic, All Stories End Unfinished, and the tool I am building to produce it.
Selected work
Designed and built solo
ComiComic
- Problem
- Comic production sprawls across prompts, references, notes, and export chores.
- Built
- A studio app on my own machine. It holds the project's memory, generates pages, and exports the finished PDF.
- Today
- This is my personal studio for making All Stories End Unfinished.
Open source
Codex Autoresearch
- Problem
- AI-assisted coding needs evidence loops, not vibes: a measurable target, bounded experiments, and proof of what changed.
- Built
- An open-source Codex plugin that runs benchmark-driven optimization loops, tracks evidence, and packages kept changes for review.
- Today
- It is useful where the metric matters: test runtime, build speed, bundle size, latency, or another signal a script can print.
Open source
CodeStory
- Problem
- Coding agents lose time rediscovering a repository's structure, symbols, and local facts.
- Built
- A local Rust codebase-grounding engine that indexes repos into a knowledge graph and adds semantic context for agent workflows.
- Today
- It keeps repository context local while reducing token spend, tool calls, and guesswork.
Written and built by Albert
All Stories End Unfinished
- Problem
- A mythic story about grief and preservation needed a reader that could carry pages, notes, and music.
- Built
- A comic surface for serialized free pages, author commentary, playlists, and future paid access.
- Today
- The reader carries the pages, the notes, and the music as the story grows.
Background
Selected software background
I have roughly six years of software engineering experience across backend and web systems, with production work in TypeScript, GraphQL, Node, React, Java, C#, Python, Rust, ASP.NET, Spring, AWS, and related platform tooling.
The through-line is software that makes creative work sturdier.
Beirut-born, Montreal-based, drawn to forests and to systems that feel alive.
Now
What I am building now
- Developing All Stories End Unfinished.
- Building ComiComic, the studio app behind the comic.
- Exploring AI-assisted creative tooling that keeps authorship and taste in human hands.
