Projects In Progress

Habit Enforcer

In Progress

An uncompromising discipline and habit-building mobile tool that locks access to your phone via an unskippable overlay until daily scheduled routines are completed.

• Inspiration & Real-World Motivation: Created out of personal necessity to overcome lack of discipline and enforce daily consistency, specifically to guarantee daily completion of a flexibility stretching routine and habituated study sessions.
• Enforced Routine Scheduling: Enables users to configure strict, scheduled commitments (e.g. 15 minutes of Anki flashcards daily at 8:00 PM).
• System-Level Lockscreen Overlay: When a habit session triggers, the app engages an unavoidable device overlay locking the rest of the phone until the task is fulfilled, while safely whitelisting emergency contacts and essential tools.
• Automatic Device Release: Detects and verifies the full completion of the designated activity, immediately lifting the phone lockdown overlay.
• Current Progress: Core functionality (scheduling triggers, locking overlay, and activity tracking) is complete and working; current focus is on organizing premium tier feature sets and monetized workflows.

Todoinator - Glorified To-do List

In Progress

A custom Android to-do list app powered by a mathematical “True Urgency” sorting engine, daily morning reminders, and local calendar awareness.

• Motivation & Practicality: Fully aware this isn't the most groundbreaking project, but I needed a reliable to-do list and didn't want to pay subscription fees for premium features available elsewhere, so it was easier to build exactly what I needed myself.
• “True Urgency” Mathematical Sorting Engine: Developed a custom ranking formula that dynamically orders tasks based on approaching deadlines and a user-assigned 1-5 priority scale, ensuring focus stays on what actually matters most.
• Morning Reminders: Automated daily morning prompts to deliver a focused rundown of prioritized action items for the day ahead.
• Local Calendar Awareness: Integrates with the device's local calendar to detect schedule openings and intelligently suggest the best time slots to tackle pending tasks.
• Development Stack: Built for Android using React Native and Expo Go for rapid mobile iteration and native component testing.

Image Server Homelab

Planning Phase

A self-hosted image server, media streamer, and backup solution using a Mini PC

• Plan to purchase a Mini PC, a 6TB+ drive, and USB enclosure
• Will install several programs such as Tailscale, Immich, Jellyfin, Samba, Pi-hole, and more
• Will serve as an image server (a local Google Photos clone) as well as backup storage accessible through Tailscale
• Access control will be implemented using Samba, providing housemates and friends with 100GB quotas and ensuring only they can access their files
• Jellyfin will allow streaming of downloaded movies and shows directly from the server
• Tailscale will enable backup while on the go

WUCC Website CMS System

Planning Phase

A content management system to make the climbing club website maintainable by non-technical future exec members

• Building additions or integrating a third-party CMS for the existing WUCC website so that future exec members can manage content without any technical experience
• Core features planned: swapping out images, editing written text, managing exec members on the "Meet the Exec" page, and publishing blog posts
• Implementing a photo removal workflow to handle GDPR requests, ensuring the club can respond promptly to data deletion requirements
