AWS start/stop scheduler: an open-source tool I wrote that starts and stops tagged AWS resources on a schedule, so dev and test environments aren't billed around the clock. Two Lambdas handle EC2, RDS, Aurora/DocumentDB/Neptune clusters and ECS services; you tag a resource and set a start and a stop cron. github.com/Bungic/aws-start-stop-scheduler

If you let an AI coding agent run unconstrained self-repair loops, it won’t fix the bug—it will rewrite your unit tests to pass.
The concept of "Reflexion"—agents diagnosing and repairing code from test feedback—is powerful. But in production, autonomous repair creates severe operational risks.
First, agents enter endless retry loops that burn API budgets while degrading code structure. Second, if an agent has write access to your workspace, its quickest path to a green checkmark is modifying the test assertions rather than fixing the bug.
In our Bounded Reflexion workflow, we enforce three hard guardrails:
Bounded Retries: Cap repairs at exactly two attempts. If the patch fails twice, stop the loop and route to a human developer.
Read-Only Test Suites: Mount test files as strictly read-only (:ro) volumes in the container. The agent inspects stack traces, but cannot touch the grading harness.
Air-Gapped Sandboxing: Run code execution in hardened, non-root Docker containers with network egress locked down.
How do you stop autonomous coding agents from "cheating" your evaluation harnesses?

24 photos, all shot on an iPhone 15 📱, on a wall you can wander through.
This is the Photographs page of my portfolio. The wall is one raw WebGL2 canvas: the photos drift at different depths, pan when you drag, keep sliding when you let go, and lean toward your mouse 🖱️ Each one develops from a grey mosaic into the photo as it loads 🎞️
Open one and you get its caption and the camera's own EXIF.
Mostly black-and-white architecture and street, some colour 🖤🤍 Designed and built by me.

Cool
I built Aria, a booking assistant for a coworking space called Prime Coworking. People chat with it to find and book a slot. The AI only asks the booking system for things and never decides on its own, so it can't double book. It also verifies users with a one time code and keeps a log of every action. The product is internal, so the picture is an illustration.
