Engineering philosophy

I care about systems that do real work. My projects span distributed service communication, custom RPC systems, developer tooling, backend APIs, workflow automation, storage services, business software, and business intelligence. The common thread is turning complex workflows into reliable, maintainable software.

Projects

Open-source and independently developed engineering work. This section is intentionally reserved for systems, tools, APIs and products that can be inspected through public repositories or demos.

Developer Security & Tooling
01

Toolip

DEVELOPER SECURITY CLI · v2.2.1
Local-First Supply-Chain Security, Dependency Intelligence & Secure Developer Workflows

Toolip v2.2.1 is a local-first JavaScript/TypeScript security CLI built around one canonical resolved dependency graph, measurement-aware scoring, bounded analyzers, AST security checks, secret and Git-history detection, SBOM generation, an encrypted atomic vault, staged-file pre-commit scanning, isolated upgrade PRs, and a read-only MCP surface. It supports Node 22/24 across Linux, macOS and Windows with verified npm release gates.

CRIX

CREDIT RISK INTELLIGENCE API · V3.1.0
Real-Data Credit-Risk Decisioning, Lifetime Risk & Portfolio Research

CRIX v3.1.0 is a stateless credit-risk decisioning API backed by a real-data calibrated monotonic champion model, with point-in-time governance and an offline research stack for lifetime PD, delinquency migration, empirical LGD/EAD, correlated portfolio loss, macro stress, IFRS 9-style ECL, capital research, challenger governance, and constrained portfolio optimisation. The live `/api/v3` contract remains intentionally stable while the heavier portfolio/accounting research stays offline.

Argus RPC

PROTOCOL ENGINEERING · v2.0.0
TypeScript RPC Runtime & Wire Protocol Over Persistent TCP

Argus RPC v2 is a compact TypeScript RPC runtime and binary wire protocol over persistent TCP, rebuilt around real failure semantics: out-of-order multiplexed calls, distributed deadlines and cancellation, bounded server concurrency and socket backpressure, transient-aware retries, health-aware connection pooling, canonical statuses, interceptors, bounded metrics, codec extension primitives, and reproducible benchmarking. The v2 release has zero runtime dependencies and a 128-test / 37-file verification checkpoint across Node 20, 22, and 24.

LaunchStack CLI

DEVELOPER TOOLING · v2.0.2
Production Backend Scaffolding, Deployment & Release Automation

LaunchStack CLI packages a production backend baseline into one workflow: Fastify + TypeScript, Prisma/PostgreSQL, rotating and revocable JWT auth, Zod contracts, Swagger/OpenAPI, health/readiness endpoints, Docker, Vitest, GitHub Actions, provider presets, environment switching, secrets, deploy history and rollback targeting. Its latest hardening blocks API credentials from being forwarded to unsafe origins.

VaultBox API

STORAGE PLATFORM · V2.1.0
Durable Resumable Uploads, Range Downloads & Atomic Quota Control

VaultBox API v2.1.0 is a secure storage and transfer backend with PostgreSQL-backed resumable upload sessions, bounded parallel chunk ingestion, streaming SHA-256 assembly, HTTP Range downloads, atomic committed/reserved quota invariants, cursor pagination, indexed substring search, one-round-trip Redis throttling, bounded fallbacks, ownership-scoped sessions and migration-aware production startup on Render with Neon PostgreSQL and Upstash Redis.
