PR-0001Platform

ConvertX

Self-Driven Project

June 2026 - Sep 2026

A microservices platform for format conversion and developer utilities, built to learn how production systems are actually operated rather than just written. Two Go services sit behind a Kong Gateway Operator with MetalLB handling load balancing, and every backing service is AWS-shaped through LocalStack Pro: RDS for persistence, ElastiCache for caching, Cognito for identity with RS256 tokens verified via JWKS, SecretsManager for every credential, and CloudWatch for logs. The interesting work is the operational layer around the API rather than the conversions themselves. Both services autoscale on CPU, drain in-flight requests on SIGTERM, and are covered by purpose-built load and resilience suites that measure how the cluster behaves when pods are killed and deployments roll.

PR-0002Desktop Extension

GNOME Tiling-Window Extension

Self-Driven Project

Mar 2026 – Jul 2026

An i3-style tiling window manager for GNOME Shell, written in GJS, and built out of plain dislike for the window management it replaces. Windows are held in a binary space-partitioning container tree, so every split is a node and an arrangement is one structure rather than a set of remembered positions. That tree is serialized, which is what lets a layout survive a shell restart instead of being rebuilt by hand each session. Floating windows sit inside the same tree rather than beside it as a special case, panes are navigated with vim-style keybindings, and tiles can be rearranged by dragging. Written alongside contributions to other open-source projects.
