Personal projects — 2024 — 2026

Things I've beenbuilding lately.

Each one solved a real problem for a real audience.

Engineering standard

Every build runs onthe same backbone.

The projects above aren't one-off demos. Each one ships on the same modern foundation.

State-of-the-art CI/CD

Push to main and GitHub Actions deploys over AWS OIDC. No static keys.

Environment split

Isolated dev and prod stages, promoted independently.

Multi-language support

Internationalized from day one.

Light & dark mode

Follows the visitor's system preference.

All on AWS

Serverless: Lambda, CloudFront, S3, and Route 53 via SST / OpenNext.

Ops dashboard

Traffic, errors, and status — all in one place.

Every deploy reports into a single ops board that auto-discovers each project in AWS.

Traffic

Lambda invocations / 24h

Errors

Error rate + p50 latency

Status

Route 53 uptime checks

Deploys

Last-deploy SHA + cost

Contracting — client work

Built for clients,on contract.

Paid engagements: into someone else's codebase, or a product built end to end.

About

I like buildingunsexy softwarethat pays the bills.

Every project on this page started one of two ways: a friend or family member came to me with an idea they couldn't get built, or I ran into something in my own everyday life that I figured deserved a dedicated solution.

From there the playbook is always the same: learn the workflow cold, then build it for real — Next.js and TypeScript on top, Postgres for state, and Python for the heavy lifting.

Ship-first mindset

Seven products shipped and three more in flight. I move fast and finish.

Full-stack range

From Next.js Server Components down to Python mesh-generation jobs on AWS Fargate and Stripe webhook plumbing.

AI-native

Production pipelines with vision-language models (Claude, OpenAI), structured output, and async job systems. Not bolt-on chatbots.
