projects · what's actually shipped

What I'm building.

A short, dated list of what I'm actively shipping. The core of it is automation software for TikTok Shop e-commerce — affiliate and creator operations; the rest is trading systems and daily-use tools. Status reflects reality, not aspiration. Client work is described by category, not by name.

  1. shipping[tiktok shop]

    TikTok Shop creator CRM

    An internal CRM and reporting dashboard for running TikTok Shop affiliate and creator programs.

    Google Sheets as the source-of-truth backing store, wrapped in a Next.js app. Schema covers creator reach, lifecycle stage, payout and tiered-commission tracking, free-sample request flows, and an order-attribution module that ties creator output back to shop orders. A self-contained internal tool, portable across programs. De-identified here; client specifics stay private.

    TikTok Shop affiliate program system

    A shipped affiliate/creator-program system for a TikTok Shop brand — outreach automation, reporting, and commission design.

    Designed and shipped a tiered-commission affiliate structure, creator-outreach automation, a monthly performance-reporting pipeline, and exclusion logic that doesn't torch relationships. Output: the system itself plus the reporting dashboards. Described by category; the brand stays private.

    E-commerce A/B-testing dashboard

    A dashboard for running and reading A/B tests across TikTok Shop e-commerce campaigns.

    Pulls variant performance into a single view so a test's winner is obvious without exporting to a spreadsheet first. Built to sit alongside the creator CRM and reporting pipeline as part of one affiliate-operations toolkit.

    Renko bot v1

    An automated Renko-brick trading strategy on cTrader, with hard-coded safety gates.

    US30, 4-hour Renko, ATR-sized bricks. Eight refusals baked in: demo-only flag, max 10% account equity exposure, single-position cap, daily-target disarm, news-window pause, server-restart safe-state, manual-override-required for live trading, and a kill-switch on three consecutive losing weeks. Built 2026-05-15. Currently mid 30-day forward-test on demo before any live trading is considered.

    Bible Companion

    A PWA for the Catholic daily office, S.O.A.P. journaling, and the examen.

    Next.js 16, Tailwind v4, Postgres + Prisma, deployed on Vercel. Offline-first PWA so the practice survives a flaky connection. Auth is a magic-link flow starting in v2 (currently a password gate). Built to invite daily use, not extract attention.

    Browser productivity extension

    A Chromium (MV3) extension that tames runaway tabs — auto-sleeps idle ones and parks the rest into a searchable local vault.

    Built for my own browser. Idle tabs suspend to free memory; everything else gets parked to a local, searchable archive so nothing is lost and the window stays light. No accounts, no cloud — entirely local.

    Desktop system-health utility

    A lightweight Windows tray app that watches core OS processes and self-heals common stalls.

    Runs at startup, monitors the shell and compositor, and recovers from the lag and freezes that used to need a manual restart. Small, single-purpose, and out of the way.

    Self-hosted automation agent

    A self-hosted AI agent on a small cloud VM, wired into chat and a web dashboard.

    Deployed an open-weights agent on a small cloud instance, reachable from chat and a native web dashboard, with a matching local install for offline work. The automation backbone behind a lot of the day-to-day.
