Projects

Built to solve something

Personal apps, tooling, and client sites. Each one starts with the friction I was trying to remove, then the thing that shipped.

    chadd.ie

    Personal site

    Problem

    I needed one place for links, writing, tools, and live status without settling for a generic link-in-bio page.

    Solution

    Built this site as a real product: Next.js + Postgres admin, tracked outbound links, contact form, themeable space background, and a live utility tray (Spotify, weather, Discord, and more).

    IT Tools

    Tooling

    Problem

    Day-to-day DNS, TLS, email, and network checks were scattered across a dozen random sites.

    Solution

    Shipped an in-browser toolkit on this domain: subnet/CIDR, DNS/WHOIS/RDAP, SSL/PEM, SPF/DMARC, JWT, hashes, Autopilot helpers, and more in one place.

    Gig Tracker

    Music

    Problem

    Artists I actually listen to were easy to miss when they announced North West dates.

    Solution

    Matched Spotify listening to a durable watchlist, Ticketmaster NW Music events, pin priority, support-act detection, and Telegram instant/digest alerts. Friends can connect their own Spotify on a private vanity URL.

    Chad Sound

    Music

    Problem

    I wanted to get into music production without paying for Ableton.

    Solution

    Built a browser DAW (ChatSound) with a sample timeline, AI arrange, vocal accents, and live collab so I could produce in the browser instead of buying a desktop suite.

    Fitness Tracker

    Fitness

    Problem

    Training logs were stuck in spreadsheets that were awkward to update from the gym.

    Solution

    Built a dedicated workout tracking app at tracker.chadd.ie for logging sessions and keeping training history usable.

    Study Guide

    Learning

    Problem

    Studying across topics needed structure, not another pile of notes in random tabs.

    Solution

    Shipped a Grok-powered learning dashboard to organise topics and keep revision moving.
