I build systems that feel deliberate — clean interfaces, solid architecture, and tools I’d actually use. Lifelong DJ energy, engineering craft.
Shipped products and systems — web apps on this domain, native tools on GitHub.
Self-hosted log observability for teams that can’t buy Splunk — Grafana, Loki, and Alloy packaged as enableable content packs (app errors, auth, nginx), with 14-day retention, a small-VPS resource profile, health doctor, and a guided demo. Opinionated content plus predictable cost, not a SIEM rewrite.
Local-first Hyper Key companion for restricted environments — Caps/Hyper automation, TouchCursor-style Space navigation, window tiling, snippets, and a setup Doctor. No cloud, no telemetry; pure Swift event tap + Accessibility.
Curate DJ sets like a senior engineer ships systems — vote tracks, filter by genre and era, queue a multi-track YouTube set, open Set Mode for a live fullscreen view, export playlists, and find similar songs. Local-first, keyboard-first, dark by default.
Insurance claims intake helper — upload FNOL / ACORD-style PDFs, extract key fields in the browser, flag missing required info, and export a structured summary. Opt-in Workers AI for smarter extract and scan OCR.
Local C# Lambda lab — package a custom runtime, wire Firehose to a Function URL, and run the path against MiniStack + Event Hubs emulators. Zero cloud account required.
Code, experiments, and portfolio repos under @jreis — including Logbox, HyperForge, DJ Vault, ClaimForge, and Lex Log Bridge.
I care about craft at the edges people feel: latency, clarity, keyboard flow, and systems that stay maintainable after the demo — from native Hyper Key tooling and SMB-scale observability to local-first web apps. Music has always been part of that; ranking a setlist is the same problem as prioritizing a backlog.
This site is intentionally lean: a home base, a place for shipping, and room to grow without a CMS.
