Developed a Data Analytics reporting system, increasing quarterly software revenue by 400% through Python‑based PDF reports.
-
Automated data processing in Python and PL/pgSQL
Automated data processing tasks using Shell scripting, PL/pgSQL, Python, and Transact‑SQL, increasing productivity and efficiency.
-
Developed 100 web applications using HTML/HTML5

-
Built and maintained Django apps for IPTV
Developed and maintained Django web applications for the IPTV platform, shipping new features and improving performance and stability.
-
Reconciled a 20‑record DNS zone as code
Reconciled a 20‑record DNS zone declaratively against the Cloudflare API with separate audit and BIND‑export entry points, and turned the CDN proxy back off on privacy grounds after building it.
-
Provisioned a second server from code
Automated the provisioning of a second server on a second cloud provider, creating the firewall before the machine so it is born behind one, with both providers' firewalls written directly against their REST APIs to avoid a third‑party collection.
-
Built a 22‑linter commit gate
Built a commit gate of 22 one‑line linters plus five that earn a paragraph, with no warning tier and no inline suppressions permitted, covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, YAML, Markdown, shell, links, spelling, secrets and typography.
-
A safety net that no longer costs half an hour
Cut the site's browser‑driven quality gate from 1,636 seconds to 615 by scheduling its checks longest‑first through a worker pool bounded to four lanes, after measuring that alphabetical order cost 320 seconds against 224.
-
Generated 495 pages from a SQLite export
Generated 495 achievement pages across three languages from a read‑only SQLite export, with the page address authored as data so that correcting a sentence no longer moved the page and broke the link.
-
Fixed a sitemap with one shared timestamp
Fixed a sitemap where 172 of 176 URLs shared one modification timestamp, by taking the date from git history after establishing that the export rewrites every file on every run.
-
Put the documentation under its own linter
Put the documentation under its own linter — a per‑file line budget that only ratchets down, an index requirement and a real‑path check — which found six of nine plans marked done while carrying unchecked boxes, and fourteen commit‑gating tasks named in no document.
-
Linted the 10,242‑line quality gate itself
Brought 10,242 lines of quality‑gate JavaScript under a formatter and a linter after establishing it was the largest body of code in the repository and the only one nothing read, fixing 13 findings and suppressing none.
-
Built a database‑driven CV generator
Built a database‑driven CV, references, portfolio and cover‑letter generator in Python — 41 modules, 10,580 lines — rendering six output formats from one 23‑table SQLite source assembled by a 19‑step idempotent pipeline.
-
Held the generator to 981 tests and 92% coverage
Held the generator to 981 test cases at a 92% branch‑coverage floor with warnings treated as failures, and asserted idempotence by running the whole build pipeline twice from an empty file and requiring the second pass to change nothing.
-
Reached PDF/UA‑1 conformance at 106 of 106
Established PDF/UA‑1 conformance across nine documents at 106 of 106 rules, and found the archival variant failing one rule of 146 — a near‑miss that reads as a pass to anyone not running the validator.
-
Enabled every linter rule as an error
Selected every rule the Python linter has as an error, working through 1,815 findings to reach zero, with each of the few exemptions carrying a written reason and two of them backed by a checker instead of a comment.
-
Vendored a QR encoder in 522 lines
Vendored a QR encoder — Reed‑Solomon over GF(256), fixed module layout, eight mask patterns — in 522 lines rather than take a third runtime dependency, and verified it by reading the finished matrix back with an independently written decoder.
-
Wrote tests for the checkers themselves
Wrote tests for the checkers themselves after establishing that a checker fed only clean input will one day report clean because it read nothing — planting a misspelling to confirm the spell‑check finds it, and taking an id range from the database rather than from a number in the test.
-
Found the hooks and the gate disagreeing
Found the commit hooks and the quality gate running different checks while a document promised they were the same, by comparing the two lists in a test — the five that only ever ran by hand were the ones reading the CV prose.
-
Rehearsed the forge CI hook, found 2 defects
Rehearsed the forge‑side CI hook and found two defects unreachable by reading the file: a fallback that put an unresolvable argument on the hook's input, and git's own environment variable following the gate into the checkout and turning 19 tests red.
-
Moved every string into a content tree
Moved every user‑facing string out of Python into a content tree of 874 files across three languages, after finding dead translations nobody could see were dead and a check silently grading a third of the achievements.
-
Built a cross‑language figure check
Built a cross‑language content check that fails when a translation drops a figure the English states, and when a language uses notation it does not use — finding two Danish descriptions missing a metric and sixteen Ukrainian spans quoting in the English style.
-
Measured 13 addresses with no tracking
Measured thirteen addresses from the web server's own access log alone — no cookie, no tracker and no third‑party service — masking the client network as each line is written, and folding the result into a permanent archive of 21 daily counts and 20 monthly facets.
-
Made six collectors state what they skipped
Made six reporting collectors state the part of their input they never read — files that stayed shut, probes not installed, journal lines unrecognised — and fitted thresholds to 116 measured samples, after establishing that a blind collection and a healthy host render the same page.
