Software Projects

Three applications that exist because the thing did not: a way to prove who can reach a file share, a map of places to practise DJing out loud, and a colour system that survives being handed to someone who does not have it installed.

Every screenshot below is the application itself, running, and every one opens — press it, or focus it and press Enter. The data on screen is synthetic in all three: a generated estate, invented venues, and a colour system written for the capture. What was running, on what, and where the demo data came from is recorded in the repository rather than here.

ADG

Windows-domain share-access auditing and governance. ADG collects identity, SMB share and NTFS permission facts and answers, with evidence, who can reach a given share, what a given user can reach, exactly why that access exists, and what would change if a membership or ACL entry were removed.

Python · Active Directory · SMB/NTFS · Graph analysis

The ADG web application answering one access question: a diagram headed “How the rights arrive”, running Alice Smith through the groups Domain Users, Everyone, Finance-Leads and Finance-Team, on through Finance-RW to two NTFS entries and a share entry, and ending at the directory \\fs01\finance. Beneath it a Routes table lists each path with the entry it reaches, what that entry says, and whether the route contributes to the answer or is redundant.
ADG One access question answered: how a user reaches a finance share, and which of the routes that grant it actually matter.

Open Decks Atlas

A public map of places to practise DJing out loud — open-deck nights, jams and bookable practice rooms — where every listing carries the equipment actually in the booth, the room’s skill vibe, how a set is signed up for, and when a human last checked. Anyone may submit a spot and nothing reaches the map unmoderated; what the public can read is settled by row-level security in the database rather than by the pages above it, so a listing that is not approved is not merely hidden from a view.

TypeScript · Next.js · Supabase · PostGIS · MapLibre

Open Decks Atlas on its browse page, headed “Find open decks with real gear and a beginner-friendly welcome.” A filter panel offers city, vibe and type menus, a verified-only checkbox and a row of equipment filters from Pioneer CDJ-3000 to monitor speakers, over a count of 14 spots. A map of San Diego beside it carries fourteen pins from Del Mar down to Chula Vista, and beneath the filters two listing cards — Monday Night Open Decks and Wednesday Beginners Night — show their nights, beginner-friendly and verified tags, vouch counts and the equipment at each.

Spectra

A semantic color-system manager for After Effects. Build named color roles, link artwork to them, and change a whole project by changing one swatch — then hand the project to someone without Spectra installed and have it render identically. That last constraint shaped the design: the rig is ordinary After Effects objects, not a private format.

The Spectra panel on its Themes tab, with a colour system called Atlas Brand loaded. A matrix runs nine named roles down the left — Primary, Primary Light, Primary Dark, Accent, Background, Surface, Text, Muted Text and Border — against two theme columns, Default and Dark, each cell carrying a swatch and its hex value. The three derived roles are indented under the role they come from and their values are set in grey, because they are computed rather than entered. A notice across the top says the panel is not connected to After Effects and that nothing can be applied to a project.
