projects

lazymail

2026

Keyboard-driven terminal email client

A fast, secure terminal email client for keyboard-driven workflows — lazygit ergonomics applied to email. Async IMAP/SMTP over rustls with OAuth2, OS-keyring credential storage, a three-pane layout that reflows by terminal width, and a unified inbox across every connected account.

  • Elm-style unidirectional data flow (Action -> update -> Command -> worker -> Event) keeps async mail I/O off the render path
  • Unified "All Inboxes" merges every account, with actions that resolve per message across a multi-account selection
  • OAuth2 (Microsoft 365, Gmail), OS keyring storage, and sanitized HTML rendering — no credentials or untrusted markup on disk
  • Rust
  • ratatui
  • Tokio
  • IMAP/SMTP
  • OAuth2
  • SQLite
  • rustls

Termfolio

2026

Browser terminal resume & portfolio

An interactive terminal emulator in the browser that serves as a personal resume and developer portfolio. Built with SvelteKit, xterm.js, and TypeScript.

  • Three-layer architecture separates content, engine, and renderer
  • No-JS semantic HTML fallback for SEO and accessibility
  • Fully static — deployable to any CDN or static host
  • SvelteKit
  • TypeScript
  • xterm.js
  • Vitest

Agentic AI platform for SMBs

A production multi-tenant AI platform built for small and mid-sized businesses. Features custom agentic workflows, real-time voice, OAuth-connected tools, and a fully private Azure backend with HIPAA-aligned security and SOC2 targeting.

  • Multi-agent workflow engine with custom skills, OAuth2 integrations (M365, HubSpot, Asana, Salesforce, Jira, Notion), and human-in-the-loop approval
  • Entirely private backend -- no public-facing endpoints; access secured via cryptographically-signed JWTs, MFA, and Azure Private Endpoints
  • Custom WireGuard and dnsmasq configuration replaced Azure Bastion for secure access, reducing infrastructure costs by $300+/month
