Lab

A workbench for technology demonstrations. Each entry ships with a writeup of the architecture, cost to serve, and a link to the code.

This entire site is the demo. The cloud serving this page is named in the footer. Every lab below is instrumented, deployed, and open-sourced by me.

Demonstrations

FinOps governanceLive
Cost-to-serve with PR-level governance. The novel piece: a merge pipeline that combines Infracost's automated pricing with hand-curated estimates for resources Infracost can't price — every component tagged by source. Infrastructure changes are gated on cost-delta acknowledgement.
TUI emulatorLive
A terminal view of the site, powered by xterm.js. The novel piece: command routing and tab-completion read from the same JSON content layer the rest of the site renders from — TUI and web stay in lockstep, fully client-side, no backend.
Multi-cloud failoverLive
Continuity planning made visible. Weighted multi-cloud routing that survives when a provider goes dark — borrowing the aviation Minimum Equipment List as a model. Live polling shows the Cloudflare LB rebalancing between AWS and GCP origins in real time.
Threat-hunting simulatorLive
A framework-of-frameworks walkthrough on synthetic telemetry: Lockheed kill-chain → MITRE ATT&CK → FI-ISAC MaGMa lifecycle → Atomic Threat Coverage detection-as-code. The same synthesis I operationalized at California CDT — walk it through three brute-force sub-techniques across Windows AD, FTP, and WordPress.
Chat with virtual AustinPlanned
AWS QnA Bot (Lex-based) with the public bio as its knowledge base. Backend deferred.
