Selected Work

Advanced Discord Bot (ADB)

I maintain a self-hostable Discord bot platform where features live in plugins rather than growing into one tangled command handler.

TransitOps

I built fleet operations around the rules that connect vehicles, drivers, trips, maintenance and costs, not just a set of CRUD screens.

Tailscale Plasma Widget

I brought Tailscale controls into KDE Plasma so I can inspect peers and manage connections without making the terminal the whole interface.
