SwiftUI List with pull-to-refresh and infinite scroll

Lists are fundamental to iOS apps, displaying scrollable collections efficiently. SwiftUI's List or ScrollView with LazyVStack renders items on-demand. I add pull-to-refresh with the .refreshable modifier, calling async refresh logic. For infinite scr

Background jobs with Sidekiq and ActiveJob

Sidekiq processes background jobs asynchronously using Redis and multi-threading. ActiveJob provides framework-agnostic interface—I use it for portability between job processors. Jobs handle emails, data processing, API calls, report generation. perfo

Array methods: map, filter, reduce, and functional programming

Array methods enable functional programming patterns in JavaScript. The .map() method transforms each element and returns new array. I use .filter() to create arrays with elements meeting criteria. The .reduce() method accumulates values into single r

Advanced SQL joins and query optimization

SQL joins combine data from multiple tables. INNER JOIN returns matching rows only. LEFT/RIGHT JOIN includes all rows from one table, nulls for non-matches. FULL OUTER JOIN combines both. I use CROSS JOIN for Cartesian products sparingly—performance k

TOTP based multi factor authentication for sensitive actions

I use MFA not only at login but also for high-risk step-up flows like email change or payout setup. TOTP is straightforward to implement if secrets are handled carefully and backup codes are part of the design. Recovery flow quality matters as much as

Shell scripting for DevOps automation

Shell scripts automate repetitive DevOps tasks like deployments, backups, and health checks. I use #!/bin/bash with set -euo pipefail for strict error handling—-e exits on error, -u errors on undefined variables, -o pipefail catches pipe failures. Fun

Kubernetes Helm charts for package management

Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes, bundling manifests into reusable charts. A Chart.yaml defines chart metadata and dependencies. values.yaml provides default configuration that users can override. Templates in the templates/ directory use Go

Actuator for production monitoring

Spring Boot Actuator provides production-ready features—health checks, metrics, info endpoints. /actuator/health shows application status for load balancers. /actuator/metrics exposes JVM metrics, HTTP stats, custom metrics. /actuator/info displays ap

Structured audit logging for privileged actions

Security-relevant actions need durable, queryable audit trails. I log actor, action, target, request context, and result in a structured format that can feed SIEM pipelines directly. Good audit logs help with investigations and deterrence; vague logs

Database maintenance with VACUUM and ANALYZE

VACUUM reclaims storage from dead tuples. Updates and deletes leave dead rows—VACUUM removes them. Autovacuum runs automatically but needs tuning. VACUUM FULL rewrites entire table—requires lock, reclaims most space. Understanding bloat prevents perfo

AWS S3 and CloudFront for static asset hosting

AWS S3 stores static assets with high durability and availability. Bucket policies control access with JSON policy documents. CloudFront CDN distributes assets globally with edge caching. Origin Access Control (OAC) restricts S3 access to CloudFront o

Docker Compose for multi-container applications

Docker Compose orchestrates multi-container applications with a single YAML file. The docker-compose.yml defines services, networks, and volumes declaratively. Each service maps to a container with its own image, ports, environment, and dependencies.
