Jayd's Projects

At my day job as a full-time Staff Software Engineer, we are starting to slowly and carefully integrate AI tools like Claude Code into our workflow.

The story begins with watching videos on Rumble.

This week, I took my oldest son to the nearby 3D Printing and Maker meetup.

The Idea Somehow, I stumbled upon this video on YouTube.

Some electric fence chargers come with a smart tester that will let you turn off the fence from somewhere down the field.

The Ender 3 printers are great.

Background With Commit, I just finished my first pilot placement with a startup that I really enjoyed working with.

Background My Stock Checker project had some interest from some Windows users.

I recently built a desktop PC and I wanted to use it to host my Sleep-Timer project as well as other things like Minecraft servers for the kids, etc.

The Problem While looking for parts for a PC online during the Nvidia RTX 3080 drought of late 2020, I really wanted a way to automate checking various websites to see if there were any RTX 3080s in stock / available to purchase.

The Inspiration I got the idea for this app from the gro-clock device which we used in the UK.

I moved my domain from the .co.uk to .dev and at the same time I wanted to set up a blog for our farm.

How I ended up with quail eggs A guy from work is convinced that supermarket chicken eggs are fertile/viable and you can incubate them to hatch out chicks.

The problem As part 2 of my earlier project to log temperature in my quail egg incubator, I still wanted to be able to get photos from inside the incubator, so I could keep an eye on the hatching progress remotely.

This project is very simple, almost embarrassingly so.
