Frameworks

The frameworks behind the projects, each tied to something actually shipped or in active development, not a "familiar with" list.

Phoenix & LiveView

Learned by building this platform: server-rendered LiveViews, PubSub-powered real-time features (see the DylanSupport live chat takeover in This Platform), Ecto for the data layer, and a controller-rendered landing page for the parts that don't need a socket. Framed honestly as "in progress" per the colophon: the goal was to ship something real while learning it, not to claim prior expertise.

MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node)

Used to build Plot Twist, a surprise-invitation web app: a full-stack JavaScript project with animated reveal interactions, expiring share links, and calendar integration. Hands-on product development and API-based web application work, on the stack most web roles actually run on.

RAG & LLM tooling

Not a framework in the classic sense, but the core pattern behind the AI features here: retrieval-augmented generation over a local knowledge base, feeding grounded context into an LLM for triage and reply suggestions. Built from scratch against a local model rather than a hosted SDK, so the moving parts are well understood. See Support & Technical Skills and Tooling.
