jayhuang75 is an independent open-source developer whose catalog currently centers on “med”, a cross-platform command-line utility engineered for fast, repeatable data transformation. Built in Go and distributed as a single static binary, med addresses the everyday compliance and portability needs that arise when CSV or JSON extracts must leave the secure perimeter: it can pseudonymize columns with format-preserving masks, encrypt individual fields or entire documents through AES-256-GCM, and reverse the process just as easily when the private key is present. Typical use cases include generating shareable test fixtures from production CRM exports, stripping PII before uploading analytics sets to cloud storage, or creating reproducible research corpora that retain statistical shape while meeting GDPR/CCPA standards. Because all operations are non-interactive and exit with standard codes, med slots cleanly into CI pipelines, overnight ETL batches, or analyst Jupyter notebooks that shell out for a quick scrub. Parameters are supplied through flags plus an optional audit manifest that logs every column rule and salt value, letting security teams verify that the same masking policy applied in development is still intact in production. The tool requires no local database or daemon, so it runs identically on Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it attractive to data engineers who want a lightweight, auditable alternative to heavier enterprise masking suites. The publisher’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest release and supporting batch installation alongside other utilities.
A simple enough CLI tool with auditable capability for Data Masking/Encyption/Decryption for CSV/JSON files.
