Oh I’ve been busy. Busier than you can imagine. Here’s some juice I’ve been working on. (juice = open-source projects)
The foundation of Teddy. A retrieval-augmented chat overlay for WordPress sites that scrapes on schedule, embeds into Postgres, reranks, and answers with citation-rich responses right on the page.
A juicy webapp for tracking and maximizing bank account opening bonuses. Features comprehensive bonus tracking, requirement monitoring, and optimization strategies.
Containerized video generation platform with load balancing. Done in a weekend for a take-home for a job application.
GitHub job listing pages aren't good. You can't even filter by location. Adds the much needed functionality with a sleek, collapsable UI that works only when you need it to.
Amazon employees! This one's for you: enters giveaways automatically on ExtrasForAmazon. You're one click away from winning this month's giveaways.
The missing Tampermonkey script to add markdown support to Hacker News. Now in bold, italic, glamour★, flashy, resplendent, and so much more.
The dark mode is broken on my favorite website, Doctor of Credit. This fixes it.
My time at Amazon had a way of professionalizing some of my (quirky?) self-taught habits. For years, I was building one-off browser extensions to fix tiny annoyances on individual websites, a throwback to my middle school days with userscripts. Seeing Tampermonkey used so prominently was kinda like a lightbulb moment. My biggest evolution, though, was with version control. I officially retired my old system of naming files project_final_v2_REAL.zip after learning that Git isn't so scary after all. I can't promise I'll retire the naming scheme for my video edits. I've fully embraced GitHub for my projects and even open-source them with MIT licenses.
