Security that matches the code.

// the problem

Nourishubs handles children's data in 4 countries. Each country has its own privacy law, so one generic compliance checklist was never going to be enough.

// what he did

  • 01Led the ISO 27001 information security implementation across the stack.
  • 02Mapped the systems, assets, threats, owners, and controls in the risk assessment.
  • 03Defined access rules and kept evidence of who could reach each system.
  • 04Prepared the records and evidence needed for audit.
  • 05Mapped the international standard onto local law in every country of operation.

// why it matters

I led the security work at 22 while running the 10 person engineering team. Reading the code made the policies more realistic, and writing the policies exposed gaps in the code.

002case file · sd worx · hr and payroll assistant
in progress

An assistant that knows when to stop.

// the problem

HR and payroll answers sit across dense policy documents. Staff lose time finding the right rule, and a confident wrong answer can affect someone's pay.

client internals: ████ nda ████

// what he did

  • 01Built document ingestion, chunking, embeddings, and retrieval over the policy set.
  • 02Grounded answers with citations. Every claim points back to the document that says so.
  • 03Guardrails: it answers from policy or it doesn't answer. No improvising with people's pay.
  • 04Measured wrong answer rate against a fixed test set before judging the demo.

// why it matters

This is still in development inside a major HR and payroll company. The work is mostly about retrieval quality, clear refusals, and repeatable testing. The chat interface is the easy part.

003case file · sd worx · component library
shipped · in production

One system. Every product.

// the problem

Teams were rebuilding the same interface patterns across projects. That created design drift, repeated bugs, and avoidable review work.

// what he did

  • 01Built a component library inspired by shadcn/ui, including tokens, primitives, and reusable patterns.
  • 02Made it the shared source for interface work across projects.
  • 03Train 3 junior engineers to use and extend it.

// why it matters

Teams can build new screens from known parts, and fixes apply across the products that use them. The library also gives junior engineers a clear standard to follow.
