A collection of shipped products, experimental prototypes, and architectural explorations. Each represents a learning opportunity and technical challenge overcome.
Custom t-shirt design studio built for team-based designs and custom garment/print solutions for sports teams. A portion of proceeds supports booster clubs.
Building for sports teams meant understanding their unique needs: fast turnarounds, group ordering workflows, and the importance of supporting their community. The booster club model creates alignment between our success and theirs.
Discover hundreds of thought-provoking questions designed to deepen relationships, break the ice, and explore new perspectives. Search, browse by category, or submit your own.
Building a community-driven question platform taught us the power of curation combined with open contribution. The key was balancing discovery (search, random, categories) with the ability for users to add their own questions.
Coordination site for potluck and family/friend gatherings. Keep everyone up-to-date on what everyone else is bringing. Perfect for family gatherings, friendly dinners, and work potlucks.
Building a coordination tool taught us that visibility is everything. When everyone knows what everyone else is bringing, the guesswork disappears and the planning becomes fun.
Self-hosted inventory management platform for resellers. Track inventory across eBay, StockX, Mercari, Depop, Poshmark, Grailed, and Whatnot. AI listing generation, cross-platform posting, profit calculations, and more.
Building a self-hosted inventory platform taught us that resellers need data sovereignty as much as features. The challenge was integrating multiple marketplace APIs while keeping sync reliable and fast.
Alpine Linux version of h265ize video converter. Batch converts video files to HEVC/H.265 codec for improved compression with minimal Docker image footprint.
Optimizing video encoding in containers taught me the balance between image size, build time, and runtime performance. Handling resource-intensive FFmpeg processes in Alpine Linux was a deep dive into minimalist container design without sacrificing capability.
Lightweight Docker image for ClamAV antivirus scanner built on Alpine Linux. Minimal footprint with optimized virus definition updates for containerized environments.
Building Alpine-based Docker images taught me the importance of minimizing image size without sacrificing functionality. Optimizing virus definition updates for containerized environments was a valuable exercise in resource efficiency and security automation.
Production-ready Docker Compose setup for Ghost blogging platform. Includes Nginx reverse proxy, SSL/TLS termination, and automated database backups.
Setting up Ghost in containers revealed the challenges of stateful applications in microservices. Learning to properly handle database migrations, file uploads, and SSL certificates in Docker strengthened my understanding of production-grade container orchestration.
