Hi there,
I'm AdepT.

Software developer at [REDACTED] & founder of Adept Productions.

I build small, focused software — and self-host everything I can get away with.

Nothing on right now.

Why be afraid now?

I'm driven by a simple belief: there's always a challenge greater than the one you're currently facing — so why be afraid now? That's carried me from running a 2,000-member computer science community to shipping enterprise integrations by day and building an independent software studio by night.

I'm an entrepreneur at heart. Every community I'm part of has pain points hiding in plain sight — and I can't not build the fix. That instinct became a 2,000-member hub for CS students who needed a place to land, co-founded ventures in consumer tech and campus food access (names [REDACTED]), and internal tools my coworkers now use every day — including one that automated my own desk out of the office.

Adept Productions is that same instinct, aimed outward: focused tools for real problems, honest dev notes on every app, and educational tech media. Everything runs on hardware I manage myself, from the hypervisor up — because the homelab community has pain points too.

Trial by production

2026 — PRESENT

Software Developer · Enterprise API // [REDACTED]

  • Build and maintain MuleSoft applications powering integrations for product teams across the enterprise
  • MuleSoft Community of Practice — the dev other devs ping when the integration layer fights back
  • Maintainer of Enterprise API Automation: PR-review automation, Jenkins + UrbanCode deploy rails, CLI tooling used daily by internal teams

SIDE QUESTS

Intrapreneur · Internal Apps // [REDACTED]

  • Check-In — in-person work tracker adopted by other departments (successfully automated myself out of the office)
  • Evidence Builder — AI captures your wins daily, so review season becomes copy-paste into Workday instead of archaeology

2024 — 2026

Software Developer // [REDACTED]

  • Enterprise integration flows moving data between internal systems and product teams — transformation, validation, 100% automated test coverage
  • Capacity dashboards for monitoring server usage and forecasting demand

2023

Software Developer Intern // [REDACTED]

  • RPA automation initiatives — internal storage and caching upkeep inside a virtual desktop environment

2022

Software Developer Intern // [REDACTED]

  • Legacy Java framework migration — eliminating technical debt
  • Devcontainer-based test development to cut onboarding time for future developers

2020 — 2023

Founder & President // Trackers @ [REDACTED]

  • Built a central hub for CS students — grown to 2,000+ members, with workshops and networking events through every academic year

INCOMING 2027

M.S., Computer Science // [REDACTED] — ONLINE

Leveling up while shipping. Starts January 2027.

DEC 2023

Honours B.S., Computer Science // [REDACTED] UNIVERSITY

Minor in entrepreneurship. Major GPA 3.7/4.0. The rest is classified.

Full-stack engineering

TypeScript, React, Astro & Tailwind up front; Java, Python/Django & MuleSoft behind; Postgres, SQLite & Mongo underneath. Pipelines ship with tests.

Self-hosted infrastructure

Proxmox, Docker, ZFS, Cloudflare Tunnels — everything you're reading is served from hardware I run.

Automation & tooling

n8n, RPA, Jenkins & UCD pipelines, internal CLI tools — if it happens twice, it gets automated.

Community & leadership

Founded a 2,000-member CS community; the dev other devs ask first. Teaching is half the fun.

The hand I'm playing

OPERATIONAL [4] // shipped & running

AdepTLab

Private

My homelab: two Proxmox servers running 20+ services (media, photos, AI inference, automation) with GPU passthrough, a three-layer no-cloud backup strategy, and firewalled public services behind Cloudflare Tunnels.

#proxmox#docker#zfs#tailscale#cloudflare

adeptproductions.dev

Visit ↗

The studio itself: app catalogue, dev notes, and blog. Astro static build served from my own hardware behind a Cloudflare Tunnel, firewalled both directions.

#astro#tailwind#docker#self-hosted

Status Tracker

GitHub ↗

Follows a media request through a self-hosted pipeline, from requested to watchable, and shows where it is stuck.

#python#webhooks#self-hosted

[REDACTED] Tracker Bot

Private

Discord bot built from scratch for a [REDACTED] community server: member verification, a recruiter queue, and course records.

#discord.js#mongodb

IN DEVELOPMENT [6] // actively being built

dayplan

Studio ↗

AI-assisted day planner: describe your week in plain language and it proposes tasks, events, and time blocks. Review, apply atomically, undo as a group.

#react#sqlite#ai-assistant#self-hosted

ConnectHub

Studio ↗

Real-time chat platform on Bun: Discord-style spaces and channels with an architecture built from day one for end-to-end encrypted group messaging.

#bun#websockets#e2ee

Ditto Looper

GitHub ↗

Real-time Android audio looper modeled on a guitar pedal: layer stacking, overdubs, hold-to-undo, built on low-latency native audio.

#kotlin#android#oboe

Domain Watcher

Private

Daily RDAP checks on domains I want or own. Alerts the day a drop is coming, so I never lose another one by six days.

#rdap#n8n#self-hosted

vLLM on an RTX 5090

GitHub ↗

Running, serving, and benchmarking LLMs locally on a daily-driver Arch machine without breaking system Python, CUDA, or drivers.

#vllm#cuda#benchmarks

Watch Together

Private

Self-hosted watch-together for my Jellyfin: synced playback so friends can watch the same thing from anywhere in the world — including behind the Great Firewall.

#jellyfin#sync#self-hosted

DORMANT [1] // face-down, may re-enter the deck

★ JOKER Syna

Training an AI model into an entertainment-focused persona built to engage and interact with audiences.

DECOMMISSIONED [2] // the discard pile

A♣ DevHub

Collab project with a friend: a hub for finding projects to contribute to and people to build with, with video calling, real-time chat, and a meetup location finder.
