Stack

Technologies I work with

Eighteen technologies, each with where it runs. Every one is in a system I have built, not on a wish list.

Cloud & infrastructure

  • AzureThe whole estate: virtual machines, Container Apps, VNet-private Postgres, Key Vault and managed identity, all declared as code.
  • TerraformProvisions the group estate from code, so every resource has a definition in a repo and a review behind it.
  • BicepThe Job Adding System's own Azure resources, deployed from the same repository as the code they run.
  • CloudflareWorkers and Access: the staff console's sign-in, and this site.
  • DockerThe hardened, pinned image the Job Adding System is moving into. The rules I build images by are on the blog.

Delivery & operations

  • GitHub ActionsLint, type and audit gates on every repo, then pull-based deploys: the server fetches what passed, nothing is pushed to it.
  • systemdTimers run the scheduled jobs and automations that carry a job from signed proposal to close-out.
  • PlaywrightBrowser automation for screenshots and checks: app screens at phone and tablet size, and this site's own test suites.

Identity & security

  • Entra IDSingle sign-on for the staff console, client-credential tokens between services, and tenant policy kept as code.
  • IntuneEndpoint policy as code, LAPS and the Essential Eight, from laptop to edge.

Languages & frameworks

  • Python250k lines of Python, guarded by 11,700+ automated tests across my systems.
  • FastAPIThe staff console, the site inspection form, the energy engine and the accounts service.
  • RustThe battery-schedule optimiser: under a millisecond per schedule.
  • TypeScriptThe RenewCompare app and its web front end.
  • React NativeRenewCompare's phone app, built with Expo to product standard and kept release-ready; the company runs RenewCompare as an internal tool instead.
  • SalesforceFlows, Apex and Lightning components for the sales and customer-experience teams. DEX-450 trained.

Data

  • PostgreSQLThe energy engine and the accounts service today; the Job Adding System next, by the plan on the blog.
  • SQLiteThe Job Adding System's databases today: fast and simple, and being migrated with a shadow write and a nightly compare.
