Every public page on this site, grouped by who it is written for. The three audience sections cover the same services from different angles; the topic pages go deeper on one problem each.

Is this a good fit? — a short self-check before you get in touch
How I work — direct access, scoped work, written outcomes

The Workshop

Write-ups of real work: what was wrong, what was tried, and what it cost.

Inside the Workshop — the full index, filterable by topic and audience
How this site works — what happens when you press send, and what an agent sees
This site publishes tools an AI agent can call — six tools an agent can call directly, and why they are there
Testimonial verification — proving a referee is who they say, without a password
OAuth integration — provider sign-in without a second source of truth
Azure cost reductions — making the processing safe before making it cheaper
The cleanup job that came for production — when a cleanup job deletes the image you are running
Email authentication reports — reading the daily email authentication reports (DMARC and TLS-RPT) that nobody reads
Unsubscribe ledger — proving you honoured a request after changing vendor
Self-hosted build agent — killed after 32 hours, rebuilt four months later
API routes that never existed — fifteen of them, and why nothing caught it
Bulk-editing a live mailbox — preview before apply, and a cap on the damage
Firewall sync service — keeping a narrow rule accurate instead of widening it
Deleting the last connection string — four services moved onto managed identity
A green health check is not a deployment — proving the build that answers is the one you shipped
Why only 5 of 62 invoices matched — a matcher starved by bad data and silent failures
The morning email that went quiet — five failures nobody was alerted to, and what notices them now
Shipping an internal app to my own phone — signing, distribution and sign-in failures that came after a green build
Six weeks of ‘done’ that did nothing — a sync that treated a refused permission as an empty mailbox
A dashboard is only as honest as its labels — five figures that counted something other than their label
One vulnerable package, four repositories, four different fixes — the right fix was different in each
Seventy-nine routing rules the platform already ran — rules that restated the platform, and redirects that were dropping ad click IDs
