In development / control-plane design
Early design work for an ephemeral environment control plane.
Branchplane is still at the system-model stage. I am using it to work through control-plane failure modes around desired state, reconciliation, cleanup, and one-shot deployment workflows.
Production software and migration
Academic operations software for two campuses and more than 2,000 students and staff.
A production rewrite that preserved populated data, kept rollback possible, and separated permanent student identity from academic-session enrolment.
Realtime product engineering
A real-time queue product for waiting somewhere else.
Queue position is changing state, not a page to refresh. The system combines durable queue records with live updates, push notifications, reconnect-aware clients, and a server-fetch fallback.
Product instinct and use
Receipts for Tuesday football.
We kept arguing about who was actually good at Tuesday football. So I started keeping receipts. The small tracker grew with the group that uses it.
