Featured Projects

Spooky

Ongoing
RustHTTP/3 + QUICReverse ProxyHealth CheckConfig-Driven
  • Built an HTTP/3-to-HTTP/2 reverse proxy in Rust that terminates QUIC connections at the edge and forwards to upstream HTTP/2 backends — enabling HTTP/3 for clients without modifying existing infrastructure.
  • Implemented per-upstream load balancing with three strategies: round-robin, consistent hashing (FNV-1a), and random, each pool independently configured via YAML.
  • Added path-prefix and host-based routing with longest-prefix matching across multiple upstream backend pools.
  • Integrated passive health checks tracking backend liveness and excluding unhealthy nodes from the selection pool.

Firewall Management System

Completed
PerlMojoliciousCouchDBShorewallDevuan/Linux
  • Web-based firewall management interface with CouchDB authentication.
  • Supports live control of Shorewall rules, automated backups, and secure user login.
  • Added diagnostics tools (ping, traceroute, tcpdump) for real-time infra observability across 15–20 nodes.
