Projects

Update Guardian — WordPress plugin (WordPress.org)

  • Built and published a WordPress plugin that catches what updates break: it captures baselines of key pages and re-checks them after every plugin, theme or core update, reporting broken pages, layout shifts and features that silently disappear while the page still returns 200
  • Architected as a thin GPL plugin backed by a hosted Node.js detection service (Playwright headless browser, screenshot diffing, auto-derived page markers) deployed on Oracle Cloud, with licensing and payments through Freemius verified server-side; passed the WordPress.org plugin review process

Portfolio site with CMS (this site)

  • Next.js, TypeScript and Payload CMS on MongoDB with public/private notes and owner authentication, deployed on Vercel
  • Built a listen feature that narrates articles, PDFs and notes as cached audio with speed control, scrubbing and lock-screen playback, using server-side text extraction

Habits & Focus tracker

  • Owner-only productivity suite inside the portfolio (Next.js, Payload CMS, MongoDB): a custom habit tracker with streaks and a 4-week history, plus a Focus workspace that pairs a to-do list with a Pomodoro timer — right-click a task to start a session, with per-task session logging
  • Cross-device synced timer (server-persisted state reconciled with a clock offset) and a daily digest email with evening nudges for unchecked habits and overdue tasks

Personal relationship manager (PRM)

  • A private CRM for personal life, built in Next.js and MongoDB with password-protected access, organizing 1,000+ imported contacts along with the history of interactions with each

Journal

Meds Tracker
