Frontend Portfolio

Things I've built.

I'm primarily a backend engineer, but I build full-stack. Here are some of the frontend projects I've shipped — mostly Astro and Tailwind, deployed to Cloudflare Pages.

Client work

Personal projects

💣
Burn After Reading
fuse.merricklabs.io

One-time secret sharing with client-side AES-GCM encryption. Text and images self-destruct after one view or when the timer runs out. The server never sees the key — it lives in the URL fragment.
