Flagship full-stack systems, cloud backend services, and AI reliability tooling. Every project below has a technical overview covering its purpose, architecture, engineering decisions, verification evidence, and limitations.

A streaming telemetry platform that collects readings from two self-hosted machines every ten seconds, moves them through Kafka, and archives them in day-partitioned HDFS storage that a public dashboard reads back. Collectors buffer to local disk when the broker is unreachable and replay in order once it returns, and stream offsets are committed only after each batch reaches storage.

A scheduled pipeline that reads the day's new AI papers on arXiv, selects three, and summarizes each from the body of the paper rather than its abstract. Two automated checks stand between the model and the page: the quoted fragment must appear in the paper, and every figure written must appear in it too. A summary that fails either check is published marked unverified rather than presented as checked.

A React and Spring Boot peer-to-peer car marketplace with JWT authentication, role-based access, MySQL persistence, and Docker packaging. Live at carsale.pesanth.com, self-hosted on a Linux server behind an outbound-only Cloudflare Tunnel. Sign in as demo / demo1234 to browse the market, list a vehicle, and buy from another seller.

A full-stack Angular and Express commerce platform with MongoDB, Stripe Checkout, responsive product discovery, cart workflows, and Docker packaging. Live at cubestore.pesanth.com, self-hosted behind the same tunnel. The public demo is deliberately read-only: browse, search, and filter all 66 products, with checkout disabled.

A retrieval-augmented incident-triage workflow with a dependency-free BM25 index, structured Claude outputs, a CLI, a Streamlit interface, and an offline evaluation suite.

A Windows desktop utility for discovering, selecting, and bulk-installing WinGet packages through a guided interface, with automated release builds and downloadable binaries.

Core languages and application development

Cloud, delivery, and reliability

_{Rebuilt from the GitHub API every morning, and committed only when a figure changes. Contribution totals use GitHub's twelve-month contribution calendar; language percentages use GitHub-reported bytes across owned public repositories.}

Every featured project has a recruiter-friendly technical overview covering its purpose, use cases, top-down architecture, engineering decisions, verification evidence, and limitations.
