Projects

A curated portfolio of independent engineering projects.
Spanning open-source tooling, full-stack platforms, and infrastructure, each built to solve a specific problem or explore a technical domain in depth.

Solar Atlas

Development Cycle: 1 month
Live version

A geospatial data visualization platform that renders global solar energy generation metrics through an interactive map interface.
Translates complex energy datasets into an accessible, visually intuitive experience for end users.

Motivation

• Existing tools lacked a unified, visually coherent view of solar energy output at the regional level.
• Designed to explore real-world energy datasets within a performant, map-driven UI.
• Geospatial visualization as a first-class interaction paradigm.

Chatboard API

Development Cycle: 2 weeks

A headless REST API backend engineered with Flask and Supabase, purpose-built for frontend-agnostic integration.
Serves as a reusable foundation for community-driven applications across web and mobile platforms.

Use Cases

• Custom Frontends: Plug-and-play connectivity with React, Next.js, Flutter, and other client frameworks.
• Developer Tooling: Accelerates full-stack prototyping by abstracting away backend boilerplate.
• Startup MVPs: Enables rapid validation of community feature sets without custom backend development.

Email Verification Pipeline

Development Cycle: 1 day

A high-throughput email validation service engineered in Rust with Tokio for asynchronous batch processing.
Purpose-built to sanitize and verify email distributions prior to ingestion into marketing platforms such as Listmonk.

Key Capabilities

• Multi-Layer Validation: Format verification, MX record resolution, disposable domain detection, and role-account flagging
• Concurrent Processing: Tokio-powered async execution for high-throughput batch validation
• Rate-Limited Batching: Configurable throttling to respect upstream SMTP server constraints
• Dual Validation Modes:
  • Basic: Format and MX record verification
  • Enhanced: Disposable email detection, role-account warnings, and typo suggestions
• Direct Integration: Automated enrollment of verified addresses into Listmonk via REST API

Use Cases

• Marketing Operations: Pre-campaign list hygiene to maximize deliverability and sender reputation
• SaaS Platforms: Real-time signup validation to mitigate fraudulent account creation
• Data Governance: Batch sanitization of existing subscriber databases
• Compliance: Automated filtering of disposable and role-based addresses per organizational policy

• Boutique Retailers: Centralized inventory and sales management through an intuitive admin interface
• Dropshipping Operations: Supplier integration and automated order fulfillment pipelines
• Early-Stage Ventures: Cost-effective validation of fashion e-commerce concepts

Technical Architecture

• Next.js Frontend: Server-side rendering, image optimization pipeline, and dynamic routing for sub-second page loads
• Django REST Backend: Scalable API layer built on Django REST Framework for product and order management
• Decoupled Architecture: Independent frontend and backend deployments for operational flexibility
• Data Layer: PostgreSQL for reliable relational data persistence
• Media Pipeline: Next.js Image component with Django media storage for optimized asset delivery
• Security: JWT/session-based authentication, CSRF protection, and PCI-compliant payment handling
• Type Safety: End-to-end TypeScript integration for reduced defect rates and improved developer velocity

Performance Profile

• Load Performance: Next.js SSG for product pages with ISR for real-time inventory synchronization
• Transaction Security: PCI-compliant payment processing via Paystack
• Search Visibility: Pre-rendered pages optimized for search engine indexing and social media previews

Pazii, Fashion E-commerce Frontend

Development Cycle: 3 weeks

Live version A responsive, performance-optimized e-commerce frontend built with Next.js, architected for the fashion retail vertical.
Engineered with emphasis on UI fidelity, interaction design, and conversion-optimized browsing and purchase flows.

Core Capabilities

• UI/UX Design System: Clean, conversion-focused interface architected for fashion retail contexts
• Responsive Layout Engine: Pixel-accurate rendering across mobile, tablet, and desktop breakpoints
• Product Discovery: Dynamic filtering, multi-criteria sorting, and full-text search
• Shopping Cart: Real-time state synchronization with fluid micro-interactions

Self-Hosted Email Infrastructure

Development Cycle: Ongoing (~2 weeks planned)

Live instance

A fully self-hosted email operations stack for transactional and newsletter communications.
Stack: Listmonk for subscriber and campaign orchestration, Postfix as the MTA, containerized via Django and deployed on a provisioned Linux VM.
No application-level code. The system is composed of production Docker images configured via DNS, TLS, and mail server tuning.

Rationale

• Hosted email platforms impose rate limits, opaque filtering heuristics, and non-linear cost scaling.
• Deliverability engineering demands direct access to authentication layers, queue behavior, and bounce handling.
• Serves as a practical study in SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR records, HELO policies, and SMTP trust scoring.
• Delivers a portable, fully reproducible infrastructure where every component of the mail pipeline is observable and configurable.
