/projects
Some of the different projects I have been working on. Sort of a portfolio, and not just the good stuff.
I have been doing something related to web for the last 20+ years, either designing marketing websites, building web applications, or building and managing the infrastructure that power them.
## What I am working on currently
Nicole Lindauer App & Website
A Ruby on Rails application to support my wife's business. It automates personalized recap emails after each session to improve follow-up, encourage donations, and strengthen client retention. Alongside the app, I developed the branding, logo, and main marketing website.
Royl Development
My freelance consultancy focused on DevOps and web application development. I work with small businesses and startups to stabilize, scale, and maintain their platforms. Projects range from infrastructure automation to building web tools that support long-term growth.
## Projects I have sunsetted.
Raven Monitor
Availability monitoring for websites and web applications, built with Ruby on Rails, TailwindCSS, and StimulusJS. I no longer maintain this project, but it taught me valuable lessons about monitoring pipelines, handling uptime data, and designing systems for reliability.
RabbitEars
A web app built to support IndieWeb participation for static sites. It automated feed discovery and webmention submission from RSS. I've sunsetted the project, but it deepened my understanding of API design, publishing workflows, and distributed standards.
