01Projects

Things I've designed and built on my own time, from idea to something people actually use.

01 / Real-time web app

Agility

Shared rooms for agile teams: planning poker, polls, anonymous feedback, and fair ways to pick who goes next.

  • Anyone can open a room and share a link or QR code. Everyone sees the same activity live over Socket.IO, with no accounts needed.
  • Room data lives behind a swappable storage layer (in memory or DynamoDB), with versioned writes so votes cast at the same moment never overwrite each other.
  • Ships as one Node server behind Caddy on AWS EC2, with health checks, graceful restarts, rate limiting, and CI in both GitHub Actions and Jenkins.

Next.js · TypeScript · Socket.IO · DynamoDB · AWS EC2 · Docker · Vitest · GitHub Actions

02 / Web app

Hello World

Explore the music of any country on Earth, no Spotify login required.

  • A custom REST API gathers and stores playlist data from Spotify endpoints so countries can be searched and browsed quickly.
  • Every track plays through the YouTube Data API, so anyone can listen without signing in to Spotify.

03About

Front end or back end, my favorite part of the job is that there's always something new to build.

Lately that means React and TypeScript interfaces on top of Java Spring services, plus the tooling around them: faster builds, better tests, and smoother releases. I've led small teams, run Scrum for larger ones, and enjoy mentoring engineers who are newer to a codebase.

I studied Computer Science and Mathematics at UC San Diego and still call San Diego home. Outside of work I keep building side projects, one of which grew to more than ten thousand users.
