Things I’ve built

A running log of what I make — a 3D-printing shop, a self-hosted home server, and a handful of small tools. Some are live; others are still in progress.

Live & completed 6 projects

• AL & Oats 3D

  Live

  A small 3D-printing shop and storefront — custom and made-to-order prints. Includes the public site and an Etsy presence, with orders and shipping tracked in a self-updating ledger behind the scenes.

• SteadyDraw

  Live

  A made-to-measure ordering tool for AL & Oats 3D: pick a custom size, submit the form, and the request is emailed straight through for a quote. Built as a lightweight form handler with no third-party form service.

• The Mac mini home server

  Live

  A always-on Mac mini running a stack of self-hosted services — a media library, a private photo backup, document archiving with OCR, and a personal-finance dashboard — all reachable over a private mesh network. There’s a block diagram of the whole thing.

• Courtney Number One

  Live

  This site. A hand-built personal page served from the home server behind a secure tunnel — plus a small self-hosted connector that lets AI assistants ask it for the current time.

• Recession tracker

  Live

  A self-hosted dashboard that pulls together dozens of economic indicators — from federal data sources and market feeds — into one at-a-glance view of where the economy is heading. Runs on the home server and refreshes on a schedule.

• Cable Bench

  Live

  A tiny diagnostic tool that classifies USB cables by the link speed they actually negotiate — handy for telling a “charge-only” cable apart from a fast data one without guessing.

• Fantasy draft assistant

  In progress

  A live fantasy-football draft companion that watches the board in real time and suggests the best available pick as the draft unfolds. Wiring up the live connection and pick logic now.

• Trailer price tracker

  In progress

  A weekly digest that scans utility-trailer listings across marketplaces and emails a summary of what’s new and how prices are moving — so a good deal doesn’t slip by. Tuning the sources and the digest format.
