1. Introduction

The author has spent 4+ years building software, starting with games in Unity and Phaser, then moving to enterprise platforms and the factory floor of a food manufacturer. Along the way, a few convictions formed. Code should be easy to read, even more so now that AI writes much of it, and AI-written code is held to the same standard as any other. AI in production should be safe, evaluated and harnessed: least-privilege access, answers measured against real cases, and checks around what it does.

The author believes that every service should be observable, with logs and traces in one place (Section 2.3), because what cannot be seen cannot be fixed with confidence. In the end, quality is judged by the person using it. When something can be a plain page, it should be a plain page. This one is.

2. Implementations

The following projects are known to exist and to mostly work. Each has its own implementation report:

2.1 genba Manufacturing digitalization. A mobile app, a library of standards, an AI agent that follows up in WhatsApp, paperless checklists and live dashboards take shop-floor findings from days to minutes. (2025, Standards Track)
2.2 ai-ebook An assistant that answers production questions from thousands of factory documents in seconds, with a link to the exact source. (2026, Standards Track)
2.3 platform-engineering The shared platform under 15+ internal services, covering observability, event streaming, single sign-on, audited database access, and a self-hosted GitLab with CI/CD and an image registry. (2025, Standards Track)
2.4 hcportal The HR platform behind attendance for 2,000+ staff, where a 4-hour report now takes under 10 seconds. (2024, Standards Track)
2.5 ask-it A real-time support desk handling thousands of tickets a month, with a live agent queue, a knowledge base and a mobile app. (2025, Standards Track)
2.6 pms A project management system used by 200+ staff across 2,400+ projects, connected to Microsoft Teams and other company systems. (2025, Standards Track)
2.7 agate-games Games for client projects at Agate, in Unity and Phaser 3, from mobile to web, plus Web3 prototypes. (2023, Historic)
