The Astro + NestJS monorepo I actually reuse
A reusable full-stack starter I built so I stop wiring up the same architecture every time — Astro, NestJS, tRPC, and Prisma in one pnpm/Turbo monorepo, set up with a single command.

SwiftAid: a one-tap ambulance dispatch prototype
An early prototype — think "Rapido, but for ambulances" — where you call an ambulance with a single tap and it's tracked in real time. Built in 2024 to see if the idea held together.
Nothing matches that. Try a shorter word.
