A fully responsive React SPA that displays arrival times and info at bus terminals. The primary challenge was that we could not control the quality or aspect ratio of the screen we were to display it on. We were forced to assume an unknown aspect ratio with screen sizes between 1/4 of 240p and 4K resolution. Our solution was a completely scalable, aspect ratio-dependent, responsive page far outside the range of standard screen resolutions. Our app scaled from 40 to 4,000 pixels in width. It also scaled the displayed information according to the aspect ratio and the number of pixels it could work with, from one arrival time or bus bay of two to six characters to dozens of bays, buses, and times, with information about the next arrival and destination. To meet one of the more in-depth requirements, I authored a library to scale, wrap, and fit text inside a container to display the text at its maximum font size without overflow, given any particular font.

I refactored and updated the GMV's flagship, a 150+ component React app from Node.js 6 on Alpine to Node.js 14 on Alpine. It allowed updating 50+ appropriate npm packages, removing unneeded packages, and auditing the rest, taking security issues from 1,000+ to 0. Additionally, I took all React components from class components to Hooks and added and modernized ESLint and Stylelint. I also integrated development, build, and publishing pipelines in webpack to help future-proof the project from developer drift while maintaining a functional product under very active development. As a result, 80% of the project received massive overhauling.

The HAB Node project aims to create highly available, fault-tolerant Bitcoin nodes using Kubernetes (k8s) for higher-layer liquidity support. By adopting a clustering, containerization, and orchestration approach, the project ensures uninterrupted node functionality, even if one host is compromised.

HAB Node focuses on affordability and provides technical designs, tutorials, and resources to help users set up and manage their nodes. Ultimately, the project maintains decentralization and privacy in the Bitcoin ecosystem while addressing the growing need for high availability.

"eslint-config-current-thing" is an ESLint configuration that aims to provide a standardized and objective configuration based on the most downloaded and popular ESLint configurations, plugins, parsers, and rules. By using this configuration, developers can ensure that their code is more accessible and maintainable by the largest number of developers.
