Building BrewCore: Espresso Tracking on Vercel, DynamoDB, and Amazon Bedrock

Beyond the Timer: How I Built BrewCore for the H0 Hackathon Home espresso is a paradox. Baristas obsess over the micro-details the gram weight, the seconds on the clock, the pressure profile-but we usually track it all on sticky notes or fragmented mental maps. When that morning shot turns sour, we don’t have a database to query; we have a bad cup of coffee and a Reddit thread from 2019. For the H0 Hackathon, I wanted to bridge that gap. I've built BrewCore: a full-stack coffee companion that

Building a passwordless, Gemini-advised dashboard on the "zero stack"

I built Kajota Pulse and wrote this article as my entry for the **AWS × Vercel "H0: Hack the Zero Stack"* hackathon (#H0Hackathon). Live app: kajota-pulse.vercel.app · Code: github.com/KaJota-inc/kajota-pulse* Across African micro-commerce, "co-sellers" buy stock from wholesalers and resell to their network for a markup. There's a whole industry of tools for writing the listing. There's almost nothing for the question that actually decides whether a co-seller makes money: what should I stock thi

Why I Built "WIN RAK": A Privacy-First Alternative to Passive Location Tracking

Location sharing has become normal. Most people use it for simple reasons: checking if family arrived safely coordinating with friends helping elderly relatives finding children handling emergencies But most existing apps solve this with the same model: continuous passive tracking. That model always bothered me. Not because it doesn’t work. But because it changes the relationship between trust and location. Most location-sharing apps work by keeping your position visible all the time. 24/7. Even

LLM Integration in CI/CD: Real Use Cases Beyond Code Completion

A GitLab API token appeared in a README.md file. It was committed, pushed, and reviewed by two engineers before merging. Nobody caught it. This was not a junior developer's mistake. Both reviewers were experienced. The token was on line 47 of a 200-line file, sandwiched between installation instructions. At the end of a sprint, with three other reviews queued, it looked like documentation. It was a secret sitting in plain sight. We caught it the next day during a routine audit. By then it had be

How to Write Content That AI Search Engines Actually Cite

Most content advice for AI search treats writing as an SEO problem with new rules. It is not. It is a citation problem with old rules, applied differently. Ranking on Google was about earning the click. Getting cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google’s AI Overviews is about earning the quote, a discipline known as answer engine optimization when it focuses on direct-answer citations. This guide breaks down what AI engines actually look for in a piece of content, the seven writing moves that turn

Eu decidi — de novo — me dedicar aos jogos.

Aos 12 anos, eu decidi que ia fazer jogos. Passei por volta de 5 a 6 anos usando RPG Maker. Comecei muitos jogos, tive várias ideias e aprendi bastante coisa, mas terminar um jogo? Não, isso não. Na pandemia de 20, voltei a programar e, junto com minha esposa, fiz um quiz sobre a cultura potiguar. Fomos aprovados em um edital público de incentivo aos jogos, e foi a primeira vez que ganhei dinheiro programando e fazendo um jogo. Foram dois cajados com um coelho só. Mas depois eu parei. Na mesma é
