Designing cloud platforms that make infrastructure reproducible, deployments predictable, and engineering teams more effective.
Three long-running series on building real platforms, from free-tier clouds to the homelab to GKE.
A production-style Kubernetes platform on the OCI free tier: GitOps, networking, observability and disaster recovery.
From messy beginnings to controlled chaos: Proxmox, k3s and GitOps on hardware at home.
A Terraform-first GKE platform with private nodes, GitOps, Kargo promotions and multi-cloud links.
Janus ScanA simple, private scanning app for the Brother ADS-1000W on macOS, Linux and any phone. One or both sides, multi-page batches, PDF or images, over USB or Wi-Fi.
OCI with Terraform + AnsibleInfrastructure-as-code project that provisions Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) compute instances using Terraform and configures them with Ansible. Includes automated K3s Kubernetes cluster deployment with master and worker nodes.
Job WinnerA free, open-source job application tracker built with Java Spring Boot and React. Keep track of all your job applications, interviews, and offers in one place—totally free with no hidden fees.
Asian Comprehension Worksheet GeneratorA Python tool to generate PDF worksheets for practicing Chinese and Japanese reading comprehension. Creates worksheets with empty columns for phonetic notes or writing practice.
Asian Character Worksheet GeneratorA Python tool to generate PDF worksheets for practicing Chinese and Japanese characters. Automatically creates grid-based worksheets with proper spacing and column widths.
Math Worksheet GeneratorA Python tool to generate unlimited unique math worksheets in PDF format. Perfect for parents and teachers who want to give kids more practice without buying new materials. My Brother ADS-1000W still works fine after more than ten years. The software around it didn't age as well, so I vibe-coded my own scanning app in Rust, then found a way around a problem with no driver to fix it: scanning from any phone in the house.
Moving public API traffic between two independent EKS ingress stacks: build the new edge first, issue TLS early, test through a parallel hostname, keep both backends live, and hand over Route53 record ownership without a gap.
A fresh, calmer interface for Job Winner—and the behind-the-scenes cleanup that made the app faster, friendlier, and much harder to break.
