Work

Representative work

A selection of representative projects showing how Maximized approaches automation, infrastructure tooling, and structured software delivery. Some client work is private, so public examples are paired with broader descriptions of the kinds of problems we solve.

  • PowerShell systems administration toolkit

    A large, categorized library of PowerShell scripts for Windows, Microsoft 365, Azure, and Active Directory administration — covering account lifecycle, mailbox and calendar management, security and NTFS permissions, software inventory, and system maintenance.

    Challenge
    Day-to-day administration across identity, cloud, and Windows systems handled with scattered, inconsistent one-off scripts.
    Approach
    A standards-driven collection where every script ships with comment-based help, parameter validation, -WhatIf safety, and idempotency — validated in CI with PSScriptAnalyzer and GitHub Actions.
    Outcome
    Repeatable, auditable, production-safe automation that a team can run and maintain with confidence.

  • MandelaReport — webpage change tracking with AI summaries

    A self-hosted web app that compares a page's live content against historical Wayback Machine snapshots, highlights word-level differences, and generates a plain-language summary of what changed using a local LLM — with a rule-based fallback when no model is available.

    Challenge
    Detecting and explaining how a web page changed over time without tedious manual comparison.
    Approach
    Robots-aware fetching and Wayback snapshot selection, word-level diffing, and an optional local llama.cpp model that narrates the changes — packaged as a Dockerized HTTP API with SQLite storage.
    Outcome
    A clear, human-readable report of what changed between any two points in time, runnable entirely on your own infrastructure.

  • Automated market-monitoring services

    Python services that monitor Kraken markets — scanning USD pairs for oversold mean-reversion setups and watching for newly listed trading pairs — and send email alerts when conditions are met.

    Challenge
    Catching time-sensitive market conditions without manually watching feeds around the clock.
    Approach
    Scheduled Python services query the exchange API, evaluate conditions, and send SMTP alerts — isolated in a dedicated virtualenv and run as systemd services in an unprivileged Proxmox LXC, with logs surfaced through journald.
    Outcome
    Hands-off, always-on monitoring with alerts delivered automatically.
