Projects

A single-page CV builder that makes a candidate easy to reason about by showing personality, taste, and signal beyond raw technical details.

  • Modular resume sections for identity, summary, social links, experience, projects, skills, education, awards, inspirations, and portfolio QR
  • Strict one-page format that forces prioritization: if it does not fit, link out to the portfolio and let the extra context live there
  • AI flow: paste an old CV, LinkedIn export, portfolio, notes, or links into any AI chat and get back a ready-to-edit LeeHireMe URL
  • Free, open-source builder with live editing and one-click browser PDF export

A library of Apple-like glass components for shadcn/ui.

  • 20+ Glass-styled UI primitives with 5 different glass effects that works great for both dark and light themes
  • Apple-inspired visual treatment with translucent layers, soft highlights, and liquid surfaces
  • Physical Refraction: Uses SVG filter primitives and a displacement map to simulate the way light actually bends through thick glass
  • Open source package with ready-to-adapt building blocks for custom glassmorphism systems

Mellow Lines

Website Source

A code animation studio that turns code snippets into cinematic videos — entirely in the browser.

  • Token-level morphing with arc-based animations and three cinematic presets (Precise, Studio, Cinematic)
  • Shiki-powered syntax highlighting with 11 languages, 60 color themes, and 21 background gradients
  • Full video pipeline client-side via FFmpeg WASM — exports MP4, WebM, and GIF at up to 60 FPS
  • Deterministic canvas rendering at 1920px+ for sharp, reproducible output
  • Configurable timing controls: transition speed, hold durations, and FPS selection

Mellow fmt

Website Source

An interactive playground for exploring and comparing Prettier and Oxfmt formatting options.

  • Side-by-side comparison of 18 Prettier and 5 Oxfmt-specific options with live code previews
  • Export ready-to-use .prettierrc or .oxfmt.json configs with one click
  • Preset system (Default, Ultracite) for quick opinionated setups
  • Sub-option support for complex settings like experimental import sorting

Alex Posts

Website Source

A technical blog with deep dives into database internals, React mechanics, and JavaScript tooling.

  • 10+ PostgreSQL deep dives — MVCC & locking, isolation levels, WAL & shared buffers, B+Tree indexes, window functions, and more
  • React articles — From JSX to DOM, mounting vs rendering, Activity component, and Next.js 16 PPR
  • JavaScript & Node.js — tree shaking, package lock files, and non-blocking I/O internals

Experience

May 2025 — Present
Team Lead

AMFG

Leading architecture and delivery at AMFG across frontend modernization, backend platform work, performance improvements, and team-wide developer experience initiatives while managing a team of 2-3 engineers.

Frontend Architecture & Developer Experience

  • Led migration from Kendo to shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS, drove investigation, presented ROI analysis, and persuaded stakeholders to invest in a full rewrite that improved iteration speed, developer experience, and UI consistency.
  • Proposed and implemented oxlint and oxfmt, achieving 34x faster pre-commit hooks and significantly reducing CI pipeline times.
  • Proactively migrated the team across major tooling upgrades: npm to pnpm, styled-components to Tailwind, ESLint to oxlint, and Prettier to oxfmt.

Backend Systems & AI

  • Built a 3D model similarity engine using cosine similarity and vector embeddings, leveraging pgvector for vector operations in PostgreSQL - mostly finding top N similar vectors and comparing two vectors.
  • Pioneered the team's first TypeScript backend service, proving developer experience benefits while delivering a low-defect production system.

Performance & Scalability

  • Architected and cut app creation from 10 minutes to 20 second by gutting legacy services and a bloated DB. Replaced 150+ redundant admin configs with 8 fields that actually matter.

Leadership & Collaboration

  • Collaborated closely with the design team to deliver stronger UX outcomes.
  • Achieved 2x personal productivity through AI tooling adoption while maintaining output alongside team leadership and meeting load.
