Engineering
The Future.
This portfolio isn't just a showcase—it's a living laboratory. Built on the Bleeding Edge, it pushes the boundaries of what's possible with Server Components, Edge Rendering, and Real-time State.

The Journey of a Request
From your device to the edge and back.
Geo-Routing
Request routed to the nearest Cloudflare data center (e.g., SIN, LHR, SFO).
Edge Rendering
React Server Components stream HTML instantly from the edge worker.
Hydration
Minimal JS bundle loads to make the page interactive.
Interactive
UI is fully responsive and connected to real-time sockets.
Under the Hood
Real production code powering this experience.

Patterns that make this codebase scalable.
Guardrails at the Source
We don't just rely on application logic. Data integrity is enforced strictly at the schema level using SQLite Check Constraints. Invalid state is mathematically impossible, even if the API layer fails.
1// packages/db/src/schema/events.ts2export const events = sqliteTable("events", {3 id: integer("id").primaryKey(),4 slug: text("slug").notNull(),5 maxCapacity: integer("max_capacity"),6 status: text("status"),7}, (t) => ({8 // 🛡️ Logic enforced at the database level9 capacityCheck: check(10 "events_capacity_check",11 sql`${t.maxCapacity} > 0`12 ),13 statusIdx: index("events_status_idx").on(t.status),14}));End-to-End Type Safety
A single source of truth. Types flow from the database schema through the API layer directly into UI components. No manual type definitions, no runtime surprises.
export type SelectEvent = InferSelectModel<typeof events>;events.list: publicProcedure.query(async () => db.query.events.findMany())const { data } = trpc.events.list.useQuery(); // Fully Typed!The Monorepo Galaxy
Architecture that scales. Code is split into granular packages (UI, DB, Auth) consumed by multiple apps, ensuring consistency and maximizing code reuse.
