The work was scattered across LinkedIn, coursework, live products, and private repositories. Scattered evidence reads like no evidence. This site is the single credible home.

A Salty Vet

LivePublicArchive Growing

The public proof surface: portfolio, operator profile, writing hub, and learning record — held to the same standard as the products it describes.

Canonical domain Discuss this work

Claim: a portfolio should have to prove itself like a product.

Receipt: you're reading it. Static build, security headers, status labels on every project, and a fact-sync gate that fails the build when a public count drifts from a product surface. A stale number can't ship from here by accident.

Status honesty: the site is live; the archive is not finished. Credentials, maps, dashboards, and lab notes get added as each clears review — Under Review means exactly that, not "coming soon" theater.

Artifacts

Receipts

Outcomes and lessons.

Outcomes

  • Cloudflare-ready static foundation with a dependency-free build.
  • Content model separates public facts from material still in clearance.
  • Fact-sync gate: stale counts fail the build before they can fail your trust.
  • Positioned around geospatial work, cybersecurity growth, data, web development, and operations.

Lessons

  • A portfolio earns trust the same way a product does: evidence and boundaries.

This is the workbench for the public identity. It's allowed to be ambitious; it isn't allowed to be vague. Public claims stay limited to facts that can be backed — everything else carries a status label instead.
