Interface
Next.js App Router and React server components, typed end to end with TypeScript. Layouts composed in Tailwind, tuned by hand for legibility at every breakpoint.

Digital infrastructure
for institutions with
something to say.
An independent practice in design and software engineering. This platform — its interface, its data layer, and the control panel behind it — was designed, built, and deployed here.
The Engagement
In The Beginning
A student-led nonprofit supporting refugee and displaced youth. The brief was a public site that carries the organization's work with dignity, paired with administrative tooling its volunteers could run themselves — roster management, an editorial pipeline, and intake, all without a developer in the loop.

Principal
Ethan Jung
Founder · Systems Architect
Responsible for the whole of this engagement — interface design, application architecture, data modeling, infrastructure, and the editorial systems that keep the site current. Single point of authorship, from the first wireframe to production.

Data Layer
A MongoDB cluster backs the roster, editorial, and settings collections. Mutations run as server actions, so privileged logic never reaches the browser.
03
Media
Portraits and cover art are normalized in the client, then written to Cloudflare R2 object storage and served from its edge — no third-party image host in the path.
04
Access Control
The control panel is gated by an HMAC-signed session cookie, verified server-side on every privileged action rather than trusted from the client.
05
Correspondence
Application, approval, and editorial notifications are delivered through a transactional mail service on a branded template.
06
Operations
Continuously deployed to a global edge network, with a publishing freeze that lets the team stage roster changes without touching the live site.
Practice
Considered, not decorated
Restraint is the point. Every rule, weight, and interval is deliberate, and anything that does not earn its place is removed.
Built to be handed over
Software is only finished when the people who own it can run it alone. Each system ships with an interface its stewards can operate without an engineer present.
Durable by default
Conventional architecture, owned infrastructure, and no dependency that cannot be replaced. What is built this year should still be maintainable long after.
