Each discipline maps directly to verified patterns in real project code — not textbook exercises.
DAG-based task dependency resolution with per-step queue routing over AMQP. RabbitMQ virtual hosts, heartbeats, and per-workflow ephemeral result queues. Multi-worker dispatch (Python + Node.js) coordinated through a shared state store.
Dual PostgreSQL pool (catalog + runtime) with set_config('app.tenant_id') session-variable RLS for multi-tenant isolation. JSONB columns, UUID PKs, versioned migrations, pool tuning (MaxOpenConns / ConnMaxLifetime).
AES-256-CBC with crypto.randomBytes(16) IV per call, SHA-256 key derivation, bcrypt hashing. OWASP Top 10 input sanitization at every boundary. Audit logging, rate limiting, boot-time env validation with hard process exit on failure.
Go internal/ package isolation. Service layer + repository pattern. Multi-tier FastAPI + SQLAlchemy + Pydantic v2 architecture. 140+ diagnostic rules across 20+ categories with deterministic scoring. AI policy gating with per-tenant budget enforcement.
LLM intent parsing with graceful degradation to pattern-based fallback. Full voice pipeline: hotword → Whisper STT → LLM NLU → TTS. Intel NPU acceleration. Anthropic API AI-gated deployment decisions with token budget controls. OpenAI + Anthropic provider abstraction.
Real-time MediaPipe hand landmark detection (21 keypoints) piped into Three.js scene transforms — webcam-only gesture control of 3D objects, no hardware required. WebGL via React Three Fiber, Zustand scene state, Vite HMR build pipeline.
Boot readiness gating blocks all commands until subsystems initialize. process.on('uncaughtException') with security-aware logging. DB health check with timeout + retry before accepting traffic. Restart-safe idempotent event keys. CloudWatch on AWS EC2.
AES-256-CBC via Node.js native crypto — random IV per operation (never reused), correct IV-prepend format, SHA-256 key derivation before cipher use. Mod signature verification with public key validation. Encrypted backup pipeline with isolated key management.
958+ billion valid character combinations from 139 feature axes — too large to enumerate, requiring constraint-based generation. Age-gate content tiering as a policy layer over the combination engine. Asset pipeline resolves each configuration to textures + models.
// supporting portfolio archive
Local-first platform for contract workers — contracts, time tracking, invoices, and client workspaces. Tauri desktop + PWA with 36 industry workspace templates and optional Netlify cloud sync.
Link devices over the internet into one distributed compute mesh. Pair with room codes, route jobs over WebRTC with Netlify signaling, and distribute work proportionally by hardware score. Tauri desktop and Capacitor mobile agents.
Operational governance platform for hosting infrastructure. Tracks service health, uptime, SSL/domain status, incident timelines, deployment history, backup/restore verification, security controls, and business workflow observability across billing, provisioning, and Discord operations.
Production-ready, one-click mod installation and testing platform with AI-powered stability analysis. Features a full test orchestrator that sandboxes mods with deterministic scoring, a live deployment engine with snapshot rollbacks, a catalog manager, and a host agent deployed on game instances. AI gating via Anthropic API makes deployment decisions before any mod goes live.
A fully distributed, queue-driven automation platform with natural language workflow orchestration, voice activation ("Jarvis"), and multi-engine execution. The orchestrator plans tasks into DAGs, dispatches them over RabbitMQ, and coordinates Python, Node.js, and remote SSH workers. Supports NPU acceleration on Intel Ultra 7 155H. Full keyboard/mouse control, app integrations (Discord, Chrome, GitHub, Spotify), and cloud operations.
An enterprise-grade computer diagnostic system targeting repair shops, MSPs, and IT professionals. Powered by 140+ diagnostic rules across 20+ categories — performance, hardware health, malware, boot failures, BIOS/UEFI, network, storage, and more. Delivers 5-minute diagnostics at 95% accuracy versus traditional 2–4 hour processes. Ships with a FastAPI backend, multi-tier client architecture, and a .NET solution.
FiveM MLO replicating the historic Denton House McDonald's — a 1795 Georgian mansion converted into a drive-through restaurant. Includes teleport commands, drive-thru wing, and second-floor dining interior.
A browser-based 3D design application combining Three.js with MediaPipe hand tracking for gesture-driven interaction. Built with React 19, React Three Fiber, and Zustand for state management. Enables users to manipulate 3D objects directly with their hands via webcam — no external hardware needed. TypeScript throughout, Vite for ultra-fast dev cycles.
Full-featured community Discord bot built on the Sapphire Framework. Ships with 33+ slash commands spanning games (trivia, Would You Rather, puzzle hunts), utilities (wallet, inventory, profile), and moderation (automod, logging, timeouts). Includes a monetization system, license manager, enterprise-level backup encryption, and is deployed live on AWS EC2 with CloudWatch monitoring.
A local Discord bot that rewards members for genuine activity — messages with cooldown/daily caps and real voice-speaking events via @discordjs/voice. Tickets are accumulated in an append-only SQLite ledger with idempotent event keys. Admins control the full giveaway lifecycle via slash commands. Restart-safe with expiry sweep on boot.
A comprehensive character and mount creation engine for Hytale. Supports 958+ billion character combinations across 139 customizable features, 30 unique mounts (flying, ground, aquatic) with saddle and magical effects customization, and an age-gate content system providing family-friendly and adult tiers. Inspired by WoW, D&D/Baldur's Gate, and Genshin Impact.
Self-hosted domain health scanner tracking SSL certificate expiry, open port inventory, and WHOIS registration data. Cron-based scheduled TLS scans run automatically with color-coded expiry countdowns (green/amber/red/grey). Dispatches webhook or email alerts before expiry is ever a problem. Dashboard shows domain status grid, expiry timeline, and per-domain scan history.
Real-time infrastructure monitoring for servers, VMs, and bare-metal machines. A single-binary Go agent (~6 MB) runs on each target host and ships CPU, memory, disk, and network metrics to a central API. React dashboard visualizes everything live over WebSockets with configurable threshold alerts, historical data, and multi-host support.
