Queue Assistant

Wed, 01 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

What it does

A browser extension for Chrome and Edge that helps an IT analyst stay on top of their ServiceNow ticket queue.

Periodically sends GET requests to ServiceNow to pull the analyst’s current queue.
Lets the analyst set reminder times and open tickets right from the extension window.
Sends digests and reminders to the analyst’s Slack account through Slack webhooks.

How it’s built

The extension is written in JavaScript, with a few Python scripts to help customize the app. It doesn’t need an OAuth integration with ServiceNow or Slack.

Goal tracker

What it does

Plan

Set a goal with an end date, and post updates to it as I make progress.
Add login and save updates per user.
Add a GUI.

kulat.co

Tue, 30 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

What it does

My blog and portfolio. Every page is plain Markdown, so writing a post or adding a project is one new file.

History

Earlier versions were written in React and then Vue. In 2023 I moved to Hugo with the PaperMod theme to make posting easier. Now I’m replacing Hugo with my own small Go generator.

What it does

Users in a Discord guild send a roll command, choosing the number of sides on the die and how many dice to roll. The bot replies with a short sentence describing the result.

How it’s built

Written in Go and packaged to run in a Docker container.

Gamified rewards capstone

Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

What it does

A working prototype that lets Home Depot reward employees for improving customer service, built from Home Depot’s source data.

How it was run

Industry partner capstone at Kennesaw State, sponsored by Home Depot. The team met regularly with Home Depot stakeholders through discovery and build, following an agile delivery process.

My role

Product designer and engineer. I designed the gamification system and the UI, and built the Vue.js frontend and the Node.js backend.

Purchase order automation

Tue, 01 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000

What it does

Built at Backyard Playnation to cut down on manual data entry. The Python script extracts text from a purchase order PDF, then automatically fills in the matching fields on the Vendor Central page with what it pulled out and submits the form.
