Links manages short links; Meraki handles private event media. I build the backend, security, and operations behind each workflow.
Selected work
Links and Meraki lead this selection. Each project addresses a concrete workflow, with attention to the data, access, and operations behind it.

Engineering strengths
Product flows, dependable backends, careful access, and file handling built for real use.
01
Links lets owners create and manage short links while administrators handle reports and moderation. Meraki connects guest entry, uploads, and an administrator media library.

02
Links keeps redirects independent from analytics writes in two SQLite databases. Meraki uses PostgreSQL-backed jobs to coordinate storage and archival work.
Go · SQLite · PostgreSQL · Background jobs
03
Links validates destinations, protects account actions, and supports abuse review. Meraki keeps originals private and separates guest upload access from administrator media access.
Destination checks · CSRF · Scoped access
04
Meraki pairs resumable uploads with a verified transfer copy and archive retention controls. Links includes bounded analytics recovery, backups, health checks, and a server operations console.
Resumable uploads · Backups · Health checks
Approach
A short link still redirects when Links cannot write an analytics event. The event is queued or spooled when possible, and dropped before it delays the visitor.
Meraki verifies a temporary transfer copy before Drive archival and checks archive state before storage cleanup. Holds and retention rules keep cleanup deliberate.
Links has backup and integrity-check commands, health endpoints, and a systemd operations console. Meraki documents migrations, storage policy, and recovery paths.
