A working full-stack CMS built as a deliberate experiment: can I spec and ship a real app in a stack I don't yet write by hand? Directed an AI to build it on Bun + Hono with SQLite (WAL mode), JWT auth via jose, bcrypt password hashing, rate limiting, Zod validation, and XSS sanitization — then read the result closely enough to verify it works. The value here isn't hand-written TypeScript (I know HTML/CSS, not full TS/JS); it's directing AI to a production-shaped result and reading it well. Next step: deploying it on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure instead of a ready-made platform, to learn real deployment and DevOps.

Hand-written Rust CLI — a grep-style line search built while working through the official Rust book. Went beyond the tutorial: refactored the search loop into iterator style, moved logic out of main into a unit-testable library module, and added doc comments. Currently extending it with clap for argument parsing and anyhow for error handling. This is my real Rust — written by hand, not generated.

A hand-written Rust CLI that searches a PDF line by line for a specific word or identifier — built to solve a real problem: when entrance-exam results are published as long PDFs, finding your roll number means scrolling every line by hand. This tool returns the matching line directly. In progress; my second hand-written Rust project after minigrep.
