Feature Drops

A running log of shipped features across my projects. What I built, the one decision that mattered, and the honest good / bad / ugly.

  1. Client Portal

    A Design System You Can Prove

    Hand-picked palettes fail accessibility quietly. Derived ones do not. The gap measured 18 of 22 against 22 of 22.

  2. Tink

    Rotating a Live HMAC Key Without Bricking Hardware

    Production had been hashing board secrets with a development constant. The one-line fix would have locked out every deployed board.

  3. Tinkr

    Twenty-Five Routes, No Shared Gate

    Middleware protected the pages. Every API route was trusted to protect itself. Two of them did not.

  4. Chicknz

    The Consent Screen Is Project-Level

    Families signing up for a kids app were shown a finance product's name by Google. A second OAuth client in the same project does not fix that.

  5. Cantrip

    One Failed Migration Bricked Every Deploy After It

    Prisma takes an advisory lock before migrating. Run that through a connection pooler and a failed migration can leave the lock held by a session nobody can reach.

  6. Chicknz

    Age-Adaptive UI

    Four UI tiers from one component library. Zero per-age forks. CSS tokens drive everything.

  7. Forge BI

    Dual-direction Plaid sync

    Webhook plus cron as safety net. Zero double-counts. Two sources of truth that agree.
