In the technology sector, there are two separate yet equally important groups: the engineers, who build things held together with Docker and denial, and the security folks, who enumerate exactly what's held together with Docker and denial. Some belong to both groups.
I had an email account with 40,000+ messages in it. No good inbox UI handles bulk cleanup at that scale. So I built a small web app that connects over IMAP, groups by sender or subject, and lets you nuke entire folders with a regex.
I hate creating Instagram posts. So I built a tool that picks a random photo from a folder, writes the caption with Gemini, and posts it — daily, automatically, without me touching it.
How I manage five-plus domains with a single git push — per-site Docker containers, a private registry, HAProxy for routing, and GitHub Actions pipelines that gate on a Semgrep scan before deploying.
A man-in-the-middle proxy that intercepts Claude Code's outbound API calls and scans every prompt for leaked credentials before they leave your machine — built with mitmproxy, TruffleHog, and FastAPI.
How I replaced a bookmark folder full of raw IP:port entries with real hostnames, wildcard HTTPS, and Tailscale remote access — and what broke along the way.
