OmniTrackr

A full-stack tracking platform built to demonstrate production-style backend architecture beyond basic CRUD.

Problem

I wanted a personal project that showed I could design and operate a production-style backend: secure auth, validation, rate limiting, and real-world concerns like email and image handling; not just a tutorial CRUD app.

Architecture

Browser (SPA)
    ↓
FastAPI (Python)
    ├── JWT auth (python-jose)
    ├── SlowAPI rate limiting
    ├── FastAPI-Mail
    ├── Pillow (images)
    └── SQLAlchemy ORM
    ↓
PostgreSQL (Render)

Backend: FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, JWT (python-jose), bcrypt, Pydantic, FastAPI-Mail, Pillow, SlowAPI.

Frontend: Vanilla JavaScript SPA, responsive CSS, dark mode.

Deployment: Render (Web service + managed PostgreSQL).

Key Decisions

FastAPI over Django — Async-first, modern OpenAPI docs, and a clean fit for API-focused work.
Vanilla JS SPA over React — Kept the frontend minimal to showcase a clean API boundary and avoid framework lock-in.
Render for PostgreSQL — Managed DB, simple deploys, and one less infra piece to run myself.

Production Metrics

90+ daily users with 99.9% uptime on Render.

Lessons Learned

Pydantic validation caught edge cases and bad payloads early; investing in schemas paid off from day one.
Rate limiting (SlowAPI) was essential from launch; avoided abuse and kept the service stable.
Bcrypt cost tuning matters at scale; default cost was fine for signup volume but had to be revisited as traffic grew.

Price Watchdogs

Tech Stack

Backend: FastAPI (Python), SQLAlchemy, Alembic (migrations), Pydantic, PostgreSQL.

Frontend: Next.js 14+ (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS.

Infrastructure: Docker Compose (local dev), Render (production), render.yaml IaC.

Overview

A full-stack web app that monitors SaaS pricing pages, subscription terms, and plan structures. It detects meaningful changes and alerts users before they get surprised by higher bills. Built with a FastAPI backend and a Next.js TypeScript frontend, backed by PostgreSQL for snapshot storage and change event tracking.

Key Engineering Highlights

Content snapshot engine with hash-based change detection across monitored pricing pages
Change classification system to distinguish meaningful pricing shifts from cosmetic edits
User alert pipeline: detect change, classify it, notify the user
Alembic-managed database migrations for safe schema evolution
Dockerized local development with Docker Compose (PostgreSQL + backend + frontend)
Render deployment with Infrastructure as Code (render.yaml) and automatic migration on startup
129 commits across backend and frontend

Nebula

Tech Stack

Backend: Python 3.7+, discord.py, aiohttp, AMP API (ampapi), psutil.

Infrastructure: AMP (Application Management Panel), localhost game server hosting.

Overview

A Discord bot for managing 12+ locally hosted game servers through the AMP API. Nebula provides a unified command interface to start, stop, restart, and query server status directly from Discord, eliminating the need to SSH or open management panels for routine operations.

Key Engineering Highlights

Dynamic command generation from configuration, adding a new game requires zero code changes
AMP API client with automatic session management and token refresh
Batch script execution and process tracking for servers outside of AMP
Per-user rate limiting (3 commands / 60 seconds) to prevent abuse
Channel-restricted command access for server security
Rich Discord embed responses for server info (IP, port, status, password)
Rotating file logs for debugging and monitoring

Supported Games

ARK, Terraria (tModLoader), Minecraft (Vanilla + ATM10), Satisfactory, Project Zomboid, Palworld, Enshrouded, Seven Days to Die, Icarus, Necesse, BeamNG, Sons of the Forest.
