02Projects

Paletto

Full-stack SaaS for artists to manage commissions, projects, inventory, and finances, built web-first with Next.js and Supabase, alongside a cross-platform Expo mobile app. Designed with a minimal interface so it never gets in the way of the creative process. Built for artists by an artist.

API Latency Monitor

A Python CLI tool published on PyPI that monitors HTTP endpoints for latency degradation, with full test coverage across the HTTP engine, database layer, and formatter. Sends notifications to Telegram when important latency degradation events occur. Inspired by wanting a simple, zero-config tool for tracking endpoint health without the setup overhead of Prometheus, Grafana, or a full APM stack.
