House Rules Data lake rules now enforce themselves Oct 2026
Turned a data lake's structure rules into automatic checks with recorded evidence
Our data platform's lake rules (keep incoming data exactly as received, and write each kind of data only to its own layer) are now enforced automatically instead of relying on people remembering them. Every proposed change is checked against a written standard before it can merge, a daily inventory checks the live environments, and each rule points to where its evidence is kept.

Fresh Coat Gave my site a pixel-game look Oct 2026
Redesigned my portfolio site with a pixel-game look, guided by a written design system
My portfolio now matches the pixel-art world on its home page: square corners, bold borders, pixel lettering and small playful animations that stay still for visitors who prefer reduced motion. I wrote the rules into the site's design system first, including how its text should sound, then restyled every page from them, with a test that keeps the old rounded look from creeping back.

Travel Light Moved my tools to Bun, one-file installs Oct 2026
Moved my accomplishments project to Bun and shipped its CLI as a single file
The command-line tool that saves my career accomplishments now installs as a single download, with no Node or other runtime to set up first. I moved the whole project from Node and npm to Bun, which now installs, tests and compiles it, and the release runs on a Mac to test the file before it's published.

Level Up Turn accomplishments into a game-style achievement list Oct 2026
Ship the gamified accomplishments section on my site
My portfolio now shows my accomplishments as a game-style achievement list, each with its own pixel-art icon, a playful name and a plain summary, and goals show as locked until they're done. It makes the section quicker to scan and more fun to read, with the full list on its own paginated page.

Command Post Manage accomplishments from the terminal Oct 2026
Built a command-line tool so AI assistants can manage my accomplishments
Claude Code can now list, add, update and remove my career accomplishments straight from the terminal, so it works even in setups that don't allow custom AI connectors. I built a small command-line tool with GitHub sign-in and one-step installs from GitHub Releases, backed by the same secured service the site already uses.

Bedrock Designed a data lake keeping raw data Oct 2026
Designed a layered data lake with an untouched raw layer
Proposed a data lake design that keeps every incoming record exactly as received, sets aside bad data for review, and can rebuild downstream tables from the raw copy. This makes data problems fixable without re-requesting data from source systems. (Currently a draft in review.)

Good Fences Kept AI assistants inside a safe sandbox Oct 2026
Built a guardrail that keeps AI coding assistants inside a safe sandbox
AI coding assistants working on our data platform are now blocked from touching anything outside an approved test workspace, so teammates can use them with less risk to real data. I built it as a hook that checks every tool action before it runs.

Helping Hand Mentored a teammate through governance-as-code changes Sep 2026 – Oct 2026
Mentored a teammate through governance-as-code delivery
I reviewed a teammate's series of changes that put the platform's governance setup under version control, with automatic drift detection and removal of unwanted access on merge. Through hands-on reviews I helped them ship safe, reviewable infrastructure changes.

Gatekeeper Access checks now run every weekday Oct 2026
Automated access governance for a cloud data platform
Who can see what on our company's data platform is now checked automatically every weekday against the documented access model, and a quarterly access review opens itself with the evidence attached. This replaces manual spot checks and gives auditors a clear trail; it's built with infrastructure-as-code and scheduled automation.

Long Reach Steers AI coding sessions from any device Oct 2026
Set up remote AI-assisted development with Claude Code
I now run my development sessions with Claude Code's remote control, so I can follow and steer work in progress from another device without being at my desk. It has made working across my personal projects seamless and keeps the latest AI tooling at hand.

By the Book Every change now starts from a spec Oct 2026
Adopted an AI-native, spec-driven development process for my personal projects
My personal projects now start from a written intent, spec and plan, so every change has clear goals and acceptance checks that an AI coding assistant builds and verifies against. I set it up with reusable Claude Code skills and an independent verification step that tries to break each change before it's marked done.

Pixel Pusher Built an editor for the site's artwork Oct 2026
Built a browser-based pixel-art editor and rendering engine for my site's artwork
I can now create and edit the isometric artwork on my site in a browser-based editor, arranging scenes and drawing objects frame by frame instead of hand-editing graphics files. It runs on a small rendering engine I built, with automated browser tests that check the art renders exactly as saved and a perfect Lighthouse accessibility score.
