open to full-time roles

Mostly notes on what broke, why, and what I'd do differently written down so the next debugging session starts a little further ahead.

The Electron rabbit hole: what nobody tells you about desktop apps

I'd never built a desktop app before my internship. Here's every wall I hit trying to parse 48,500 XML files in real time.

What actually broke during my JCB internship

Two internal tools, and a running list of everything I didn't expect to go wrong.

Debugging a race condition nobody warned me about

A silent data corruption bug that only showed up under load, and the week I spent chasing it.

Parsing 48,500 XML files without freezing the UI

Electron's main process doesn't forgive synchronous work. I found that out the hard way.

What deploying to Railway, Vercel, and ngrok taught me

Shipping one internal tool across three different hosting environments, and why that's a normal amount of duct tape.
