03 / INDEPENDENT BUILD
StrikeHike: built and run solo
A live research site that sets the US macro record beside the planetary sky, date by date: recession windows since 1854, a macro and volatility index, market series, and past events and upcoming dates with similar planetary geometry. I build and run it solo, from the domain to the deploy: a FastAPI backend and a Next.js 16 frontend in Docker Compose behind Caddy on AWS Lightsail. Every push to main is tested before the new stack goes up, then probed for health, TLS and a real API response; a failed probe restores the previous images and fails the deploy. Research, not investment advice.

04 / SELECTED WORK
Evidence, not adjectives.
Doors, not keys: read-only AI access to production data
Two connectors that let an AI assistant answer operational questions from live systems — without a database credential, without write access, and without ever returning a half-right number.
11 read-only tools on the job portal connector
An AI trace store that treats its own data as dirty
Recording every prompt and completion on an AI hiring platform, so bad answers can be investigated — encrypted at rest, erasable per worker, and built so raw text cannot reach the recorder by accident.
6 AI call sites traced
The one-page contract: résumés that fail closed
A résumé generator for workers who have never had one. The sheet is printed and handed to a supervisor, so "it rendered" is not good enough — it has to fit one page, use the right fonts and never invent a fact.
56 / 56 fixture sheets on exactly one A4 page
Multi-tenancy without a migration
Invited teammates on an employer account saw zero jobs, zero credits and zero candidates. The fix re-scoped fifteen business tables to the organisation — with no new column, no backfill and no change to the API.
15 business tables moved to organisation tenancy
Interviews that schedule, record and file themselves
One interview, end to end in the Job Portal: a Google Meet space and invites, a consent gate before recording, a recording state machine, and Drive filing with metadata. Built in one commit, with 616 of 616 tests passing at that commit.
