F1 Analytics: Post-Race Engineering Analysis Platform  |
A Formula 1 platform in development for turning race-weekend evidence into a post-race engineering briefing: pace, teammate comparison, tyre degradation and race execution, presented through a Race Debrief and Season Index. Its implemented foundation preserves lap context and source lineage and applies question-specific eligibility; effect estimation and the dashboard are the next product stages |   |
| Portfolio Operating System: Local-First, Single-Source Browser Platform | An operable desktop and mobile portfolio over one tested kernel: a shared file system, spatial grid packing that never loses an item, and real-time Canvas games that each play themselves on a custom autopilot. One content build serves both the OS and readable public pages |    |
| Covert Messenger: Concealed Private Messaging Platform | Private two-person chat behind a working Formula 1 dashboard. Every change ordered by one database lock and an event feed, so both screens converge. Idempotent sends, owner-checked chunked uploads, stateless HMAC-SHA256 tokens, no chat data left in the browser |    |
| Contacts Hub: Loss-Preserving Contact Data Platform | vCard 3.0/4.0 and CSV editing that patches only changed properties into the original bytes, so no field, vendor property or line ending is lost. Search across 100,000 contacts in the browser. Revision-checked writes with exact backups and read-back |  |
| WhatsApp Archive Viewer: Provenance-Preserving Chat Archive Platform | Strict parsing of iOS and Android WhatsApp exports that never guesses a date or drops a line. Overlapping exports joined with line-level provenance. 500,000 messages loaded in under 5 seconds and searched in the browser | |
