I have developed and contributed to hundreds of open source repositories on GitHub (as well as some Private ones that
I cannot share here). This is just a selection of some of my favorite projects and what I like about them.
## Neon Core
## [Neon Core](https://github.com/neongeckocom/NeonCore)
This is the primary project I contribute to as part of my work at NeonGecko. It started as work with the (now defunct)
open source Mycroft AI project, turned into a proprietary fork, and then we ended up open sourcing that fork. Working on
this project, I learned a lot about contributing to open source and managing open source projects. At the start, I learned
how to be a helpful individual contributor, and later I was on the other side, learning how to interface with the community
to balance internal goals with community feedback.
## `neon-data-models`
## [`neon-data-models`](https://github.com/neongeckocom/neon-data-models)
This repository contains barely any functional code, but it was an exercise in careful planning.
It is structured into a logical hierarchy with documentation and unit tests.
This project was not fully integrated to the extent I planned, but it proved invaluable in defining/validating
messages sent between modules. The use of Pydantic also means that validator methods can be used to adapt an old-style
input into a new one when an API changes.
## `neon-users-service`
## [`neon-users-service`](https://github.com/neongeckocom/neon-users-service)
This project defines a service for managing a user database with a flexible backend; initially, it supports SQLite for
a standalone system (and easy development/testing) and MongoDb, which is what we used for production at NeonGecko.
I implemented a very simple CRUD (Create/Read/Update/Delete) design, with RBAC (Role-Based Access Controls) to enable
easy integration with applications. The design enables the service to be easily adapted to any user database and to
allow other services to easily operate on user entries (with the proper permissions, of course).
## `neon-hana`
## [`neon-hana`](https://github.com/neongeckocom/neon-hana)
This is primarily a RESTful API used to access other services. This is one of the more complex FastAPI applications
I have written; it implements JWT authentication and Pydantic models to validate requests/responses.
## `neon-diana`
## [`neon-diana`](https://github.com/neongeckocom/neon-diana-utils)
This isn't the prettiest project, but it is my first foray into writing Helm charts. The module provides some
developer-oriented CLI tools for generating Helm charts to deploy the same services NeonGecko uses in production
systems.
## `neon-debos`
## [`neon-debos`](https://github.com/neongeckocom/neon_debos)
This project was my first exposure to Go templates. It started as a fork of another similar project which I adapted to
our needs. As part of this project, I used squashfs/overlayfs to enable safe OS updates with methods to roll back or
reset an installation in case of any errors. To support this, I compiled custom kernels and implemented a customized
initramfs.
## `.github`
## [`.github`](https://github.com/neongeckocom/.github)
This repository contains a number of shared GitHub Actions, in addition to the standard issue templates and other special
files GitHub supports here. Creating this repository was part of an effort to consolidate code and make sprawling
repositories more manageable.
## `neon-docs`
## [`neon-docs`](https://neongeckocom.github.io/neon-docs/)
Just what it says, this is all documentation.
