I build backend systems and the interfaces that sit on top of them.

Software engineer working in .NET and TypeScript, mostly on warehouse fulfillment software. Off the clock I run a home server and build things that run on it.

Now

Writing an audiobook server from scratch. A .NET API that scans a library, pulls chapter data out of the files, and streams it to a web player and an Android app that keep their positions in sync.

Projects

Audiobook server and player

In progress

A self-hosted audiobook library. The server indexes a directory of m4b and mp3 files, extracts chapters and cover art, and serves them over range requests so seeking works properly. Clients report playback position back to the API, which resolves conflicts when you switch devices mid-book.

A headless Ubuntu box running Jellyfin in Docker, with hardware-accelerated transcoding and a few terabytes of storage behind it.
