Diebold

Forward Deployed Engineer

AI-assisted delivery / customer-facing / product

I work between customers and engineering as a forward deployed engineer. I use AI and vibe coding to turn ambiguous, on-the-ground problems into working systems — writing code, handling integration and deployment, and carrying what I learn back into the product. I came up in security engineering; outside of work I design interfaces and produce music.

    DabMusic — Page preview
    01

    DabMusic

    A personal music site and immersive player for a fixed catalogue. Built from scratch with Next.js 16, React 19 and Tailwind 4, it scans the library at build time and pre-renders 16 albums and 46 tracks, while playback state, queue, shuffle and repeat survive reloads. A custom DMLL lyric format drives word-level timing, full-screen lyric sweeps and ad-libs across 33 tracks, with a service worker, PWA support and per-album OG images. Built largely with AI in a vibe-coding workflow: I set the product direction, made the design calls and signed off on the work, while AI handled most of the implementation, refactoring and content migration.

    Cyclic

    A Notion-style personal knowledge base with public page publishing. Built with Next.js 14, React 18, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS and Convex, it supports a nested page hierarchy, BlockNote rich-text editing, cover images and emoji icons, Cmd/Ctrl+K page search, a trash bin with recursive restore, Clerk authentication and EdgeStore uploads. This was before agentic development: I used ChatGPT mainly as an on-demand assistant when specific problems came up, and handled product design, implementation and debugging myself.

    DabSudoku

    A quiet, focused Sudoku game built with React 19, TypeScript, Vite and CSS Modules, with four difficulty levels, a unique-solution generator, pencil notes, hints, undo, a three-mistake limit and a timer. The board supports full keyboard controls, light and dark themes and an installable PWA, alongside an interactive how-to-play tutorial. The current version was built largely with AI assistance: I set the gameplay and visual direction and signed off on the work, while AI handled implementation, tests and documentation.

It supports keyboard and touch play, light and dark themes, responsive board sizing and local best times. Built largely with AI assistance: I set the rules, interaction and visual direction, while AI handled implementation, engine tests and documentation.
