Bilingual (Spanish/English) travel guide to the calm months of 193 destinations across Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Canada, Portugal, Greece, Iceland, Japan and all 50 US states. Each place gets a 1–5 crowd index built from official tourism statistics and Wikipedia page views, ten years of Copernicus ERA5 climate data, its festivals and public holidays, and seasonal heads-ups like hurricane season or winter road closures. Interactive map, a page per destination that search engines and AI assistants can read, and opt-in email alerts when a place turns calm.

Multi-service scam-detection platform for job postings. A React frontend routes through a Node.js gateway to two specialized backends: a Quarkus/Java service for WHOIS domain-age lookups and a FastAPI service that streams LLM analysis via a local Ollama instance on a Jetson Orin Nano. Flags suspicious postings in seconds using domain age, linguistic red flags, and recruiter patterns.

Personal wellness tracking app where users log symptoms, moods, sleep, and daily habits. A FastAPI backend aggregates the entries and sends them to a locally-hosted LLM (Ollama on Jetson Orin Nano) to generate personalized pattern insights — no data ever leaves the home lab.

Personal finance dashboard with a composite PulseScore (1–10) built from RSI, MACD, EMA crossovers, Bollinger Bands, options flow, insider activity, and earnings proximity. Tracks watchlist stocks with intraday snapshots, 7/30/90-day verdict accuracy tracking, a paper trading ledger, AI-powered chat analysis, and real-time WebSocket announcements. Fully self-hosted on Kubernetes.

My own CI/CD platform, replacing Jenkins and ArgoCD on the home lab: connect a GitHub repo, press Deploy, get a live HTTPS URL. A single Go binary detects the stack, builds images on a BuildKit pool spread across the cluster, and a Kubernetes controller deploys, self-heals and rolls back every release. It also installs cluster add-ons from Helm charts and git, wires in Postgres or Redis on request, and runs commands like mobile builds as CI steps. Every app on this site now ships through it.

Makes IETF RFCs easier to read: enter an RFC number or search by title and get plain-language section summaries, ASCII-art diagrams re-rendered as real Mermaid diagrams, and a glossary of key terms alongside the original text. Processed on demand via a local Ollama LLM and cached in SQLite.

Study site for the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 exam: notes broken down per exam objective with a quiz at the end of every section, whole-domain quizzes, timed 90-question mock exams weighted like the real test, acronym flashcards, and dense cheat sheets. All content is versioned markdown/JSON; progress is kept in the browser.
