CHAPTER III — THE WORLD NOW
Live AI news platform on an interactive 3D globe.
A solo, end-to-end product: a Next.js + Mapbox front end on Vercel, an AWS Lambda fleet that scrapes, classifies, and generates articles around the clock, a Catalyst market-prediction engine, MongoDB Atlas, Stripe subscriptions, and a hand-rolled ISR-safe A/B testing layer in ~80 lines of middleware.
CHAPTER IV — SITFUL
Calm, on-device macOS posture coach.
A Tauri 2 app with a Rust core: AVCaptureSession → Apple Vision pose detection → Rust scoring, fused with AirPods head-motion via CoreMotion, SQLite storage, a live 0–100 posture score with adaptive nudges, and a signed, notarized, auto-updating .dmg.

A Next.js 16 (App Router / RSC) marketplace with file-native markdown content, Better Auth + Drizzle/Postgres, Stripe billing, and a live-demo engine that renders ten style-parameterized templates per skill through a Playwright + sharp screenshot pipeline.
CHAPTER VI — USAGEOWL
Open-source macOS menu bar app tracking AI subscription limits.
A zero-dependency Swift/SwiftUI menu bar app — five providers (Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, Kimi, Copilot, Moonshot) behind one plugin protocol — with 25/50/75/90% threshold alerts, reset countdowns, a transcript-priced spend engine, an offscreen-WebKit auth transport, and a signed, notarized 1.3 MB universal DMG.
CHAPTER VII — BITMEX BLOG

CHAPTER VIII — BITMEX EMPLOYEE VERIFICATION
◆ Client · BitMEXAnti-impersonation tool to verify genuine BitMEX staff.
A verification page in the BitMEX app (React / Next.js) where a user checks a person's identity against BitMEX's source of truth and gets a clear genuine / not-genuine result — turning 'is this really BitMEX?' into a one-click check.
