MyHyve Ticketing Portal

Mid-Level Engineer at Hyve Managed Hosting · Sep 2025 - Oct 2026

Built a monthly support-ticket automation for stray orders that surfaced misclassified maintenance tasks the team had been missing. The workflow checks for stray orders, creates a ticket for support review and was validated by Customer Experience after rollout.

Also modernised the production Angular/C# portal: led the Angular 19→21 upgrade, cut npm audit findings from 50+ to under 5, including three of four critical issues, adopted Angular signals, rxResource and replaced legacy Sass with Tailwind.

Kachipun Tournament

Real-time online rock-paper-scissors played on a shared countdown

Invite a friend, meet a stranger through matchmaking, or climb the arcade ladder one fighter at a time.

A single Go binary serves the embedded interface, judges every throw by arrival time and streams updates over SSE.

Two Idiots, One Ship

Two-player co-op Asteroids in the browser

One player pilots, the other fires; both share the ship, lives and score.

A Go server runs the authoritative simulation at a fixed timestep and streams snapshots to a canvas client with touch controls.

Komikan

Web version of a traditional Mapuche board game

One puma against twelve dogs. Players join a room by link.

The Go rules engine decides every move, and both pages update live.

Approach

Simplest architecture that fits

I choose the simplest architecture the product can sustain: server-rendered HTML and progressive enhancement where they fit, Angular or React where the interface needs them.

Tools chosen per problem

I've shipped in JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP and C#, and use Go for small services where a single binary and a small dependency surface help.

AI-assisted, verified

I use AI agents for scoped, reviewable changes: clear task boundaries, persistent context, tests and code review. The agent drafts; the checks decide.
