Projects

1. Website

A web server built on Go, HTMX, and Markdown to display my projects

• Source Code Repository

Everything starts with markdown files - including this page you’re reading 👀

Next, the markdown is converted to HTML with the following function:

func markdownToHTML(file string, e *echo.Echo) template.HTML {
	file_content, err := os.ReadFile(file)
	if err != nil {
		e.Logger.Error("Failed to read file: %s", file)
	}

	// Create markdown parser with extensions
	extensions := parser.CommonExtensions | parser.AutoHeadingIDs
	p := parser.NewWithExtensions(extensions)

	// Parse the markdown document
	doc := p.Parse(file_content)

	// Create HTML renderer with extensions
	htmlFlags := html.CommonFlags | html.HrefTargetBlank
	opts := html.RendererOptions{Flags: htmlFlags}
	renderer := html.NewRenderer(opts)

	// Render the HTML
	htmlContent := markdown.Render(doc, renderer)

	// Return as template.HTML to prevent auto-escaping in template
	return template.HTML(htmlContent)
}

And lastly, a simple back-end web server renders this HTML using Go’s template library:

func main() {
	// initialize server
	e := echo.New()
	e.Use(middleware.Logger())
	e.Logger.SetLevel(log.DEBUG)
	e.Renderer = NewTemplate()

	e.Static("/static", "static")

	e.GET("/", func(c echo.Context) error {
		// create page data with a title based on the file name
		page_data := NewPage("./content/index.md", e)

		// Render the template with our data
		return c.Render(200, "template.html", page_data)
	})

	// start server
	e.Logger.Info(e.Start(":42069"))
}

I took this approach because I don’t enjoy front-end development 😉

2. Ansible

A Rust crate that offers an API for Ansible

• Source Code Repository
• Published on Rust’s crate repo here

An example of loading Ansible inventory data for a host

use ansible::{Inventory, Load};

let inventory = Inventory::load(PathBuf::from('/path/to/inventory'))?;
let host = inventory.get_host("<hostname>")?;
hostvars = host.get_vars()?;

3. Ranked Bot - #TODO

A Discord Bot written in Python to assign roles based on your rank in Rainbow Six: Siege

• Source Code Repository
• Example:

4. Infra - #TODO

My infrastructure repo (and tools), built primarily using Ansible

• Source Code Repository

Here’s a breakdown of my CI/CD process:
