Portfolio

This site

Made with:

• Gatsby.js
• Storybook
• tailwindcss
• THREE.js
• React

A personal portfolio site made using React and Gatsby.js.

I used THREE.js to make the 3d animated landing page. Everything else was made directly with the HTML canvas API.

The source code for this site is public. You can see it on my Github profile at: https://github.com/baremaximum/portfolio-site

OpenFaas - Rust actix-web template

Made with:

• Kubernetes
• rust-actix-web
• OpenFaas

A template for creating OpenFaas functions using the rust-actix-web framework.

OpenFaas is a framework for creating, deploying, and managing cloud functions on your own Kubernetes cluster. It uses a template system to make it easier for users to create functions using the language or framework of their choice, without having to do any generic setup.

I made this template because there was no usable HTTP based template for Rust. There was one on the store, but there were serious problems with it, and it didn't even compile. So I made one.

I chose to use the actix-web framework for this template because it's ideal for creating function endpoints. It's feature rich, performance metrics are as good as it gets, the compiled binaries are tiny, and the servers have a start-up time of less than a millisecond, making them ideal for rapid on demand scaling.

Naloxone Map

Made with:

• React
• Redis
• MongoDB
• Jest
• Cypress
• Kubernetes
• Angular
• Karma
• Redux/ngrx
• Nest.js
• Fastify
• Istio
• Letsencrypt/certbot
• Google Maps API
• Google Places API
• Google Container Registry
• Google Kubernetes Engine
• Github Actions

A platform for collecting and maintaining data about publicly available naloxone kits, with a site that allows people to search that data and see it on a map.

I built this application as a personal challenge and learning opportunity. I wanted to take advantage of the free time I had during the Covid pandemic to learn more about several tools I was interested in, and get better at designing and building microservice architectures.

For this project, I built or configured:

• Two front end applications
• Two rest APIs
• A Redis instance
• A MongoDB database
• A Kubernetes cluster with an Istio mesh
• A CI/CD pipeline, including test runners, as well as image building, storage and deployment

The application is offline at the moment since running a Kubernetes cluster is expensive. But it's complete, and could be re-deployed at a moment's notice. I'm currently searching for an organization that would want to put it to use.

Weather data API

Made with:

• Dajngo
• Python

I helped build and maintain a Django API that cached, serialized, and served weather data to digital signage clients around the world.

Internal development tools and libraries

Made with:

• Python
• ScalaScript (no relation to the Scala programming language)

I worked extensiely on internal company python libraries. I did a bit of everything, from debugging, to adding unit tests, refactoring and cleaning up old code, to developing new features and modules.

I also made a tool for parsing and applying routine transofrmations to scripts that previously were being done by hand.

Digital Signage Scripts

Made with:

• Python
• ScalaScript (no relation to the Scala programming language)
• Raw HTML/CSS/JavaScript

Worked closely with a design team to create custom digital signage scripts for corporate clients located around the world.

These scripts were made with a combination of Python, HTML/JS, and a proprietary scripting language called ScalaScript
