Projects

A bearer-authenticated API and a ever growing 26.7 TB S3 mirror that let an external research partner search a national archaeology archive and pull collections into their own virtual research environment.

• PHP
• Symfony
• API Platform
• Docker
• SQLite
• +3

An internal dashboard that turns the archive's reporting questions into one click, replacing SQL written by hand every time a stakeholder asked.

• Node.js
• Express
• React
• Vite
• Tailwind
• +2

Remote staff were dragging archive transfers back down the VPN across several network hops; moving the work inside the network removed the round trip entirely.

• Windows Server
• NFS
• VPN
• Networking

A live climbing shoe price comparison site — scraping five retailers, matching their listings to one product, tracking prices over time, and serving it through a faceted search on infrastructure I own end to end.

• React
• Vite
• Tailwind
• Express
• PostgreSQL
• +5

Every Oracle, PostgreSQL and MySQL backup at the archive was run by hand; now they run themselves, report to Slack, and have been restored from.

• Bash
• Python
• Oracle
• PostgreSQL
• MySQL
• +3

The company had a very out of date and limited disaster recovery plan. Writing one turned up the finding that mattered — database backups were being discarded after 90 days — and the retention is now twelve months.

• Cloudflare
• Linux
• NFS
• TLS
• MFA

A set of small Python tools that removed the repetitive, error-prone parts of preparing a digital deposit for the archive — and the work that turned a data-entry job into a systems one.

• Python
• GIS
• GML
• Windows

A colleague could not use the standard SFTP clients because none of them offer a dark mode; rather than tell them to cope, I built one that does.

• TypeScript
• Tabby
• SFTP

A terminal panel showing CPU, memory load and uptime, so checking a server's state does not mean interrupting whatever is already on screen.

• TypeScript
• Tabby
• Linux

A personal alerting tool that watches saved second-hand marketplace searches and pushes genuinely new listings to Discord — built to run inside a hard 3GB monthly bandwidth budget.

• PostgreSQL
• Discord
• Proxy rotation

A live WordPress compromise I worked alone on call, turned into a pipeline that keeps the site current on its own — auto-merging what is safe, escalating what is not, and cutting update noise by around 80%.

• WordPress
• Bedrock
• Composer
• GitHub Actions
• Dependabot
• +1

My first paid commission: two React sites for a CIAT-registered architectural technology practice, built so the renders sell the work and the owner never has to maintain a server.

• React
• Vite
• React Router
• Three.js
• Framer Motion
• +3

A portfolio you browse as a Linux filesystem — employment history lives in /var/log/career and is searchable with grep.

• React
• TypeScript
• Vite
• Tailwind
• Node.js
