Things I've made trying to put my dent in the universe.

A collection of tools, applications, and infrastructure projects showcasing my backend engineering and platform work. As a backend engineer, these applications feature robust Rails services and infrastructure automation, while any frontend interfaces serve as functional demonstrations rather than polished user experiences (for now!). All applications and APIs are deployed on a Kubernetes cluster and maintained through automation I've created.

    Discord Bot Websockets Ruby on Rails Kubernetes CI/CD
