<h2>Nick Web Services (NWS)</h2>
<a href="https://nws.nickorlow.com">[ Project Website ]</a>
<p>
Nick Web Services is a cloud infrastructure provider service that I created and run.
It allows people to deploy containerized versions of their web apps across our multiple
servers. It provides geo-distributed high availability by default with no extra configuration
needed from users hosting their webapp with us.
</p>
<p>
Hardware-wise we use old Dell PowerEdge servers running Proxmox. We then have VMs running
in Proxmox that run Kubernetes clusters. We have 4 clusters currently: Austin, Hill Country,
Schuylkill, and Philadelphia. The deployments are managed through GitOps with Rancher Fleet.

<h2>CavCash</h2>
<a href="https://cavcash.com">[ Project Website ]</a>
<p>
CavCash was a company that I founded which built a debit-based payment system similar to
PayPal and Venmo. I assembled a 5 person team and took on a technical role in the company,
writing most of our backend codebase. Our backend used C#, ASP.NET, Microsoft SQL Server,
and MongoDB. Our infrastructure changed throughout the lifetime of the company, initially
it was on Microsoft Azure using Azure App Service. We then pivoted to AWS using Elastic
Beanstalk. We also ran on Google Cloud Platform using Compute Engine. Finally, we setup our
own servers in-house and managed our deployments with Kubernetes.
</p>
<p>
We launched in 2021, with the ability to send money between real banks using the ACH network.
We ended up processing a few hundred dollars in transaction volume before ultimately shutting
down due to a lack of funding. The website is now back up and everything works as it did in
2021, except adding funds from a bank account is not supported.

<h2>SQUIRREL</h2>
<p>
SQUIRREL stands for SQL Query Util-Izing Rust's Reliable and Efficient Logic. It is a SQL database
that I am writing in Rust. Currently, it can parse CREATE TABLE commands, and works with the
data types varchar and int. I plan to implement basic CRUD operations, then add JOINs, and then
try to make it wire-compatible with Postgres.

<h2>SEPTA Site</h2>
<a href="https://github.com/nickorlow/septa-site">[ GitHub Repo ]</a>
<p>
SEPTA Site is a website that I created which can get your trip history, SEPTA Key balance,
and ridership statistics for your SEPTA Key. It utilizes SEPTA's new metro wayfinding instead
of their current wayfinding. I wrote the project to get a basic introduction to Svelte and
so that I could try to improve upon the UX of SEPTA's current website and mobile app.
