Project Portfolio
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
This is the primary project I contributed 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
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
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
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
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
This project was my first foray into 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
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
Just what it says, this is all documentation.
This Site
I fully defined this site using nicegui!
