Projects

Major software and IoT projects, including edge runtimes, camera systems, trading tools, and the website infrastructure behind rustyeddy.com.

This section is for readers who want to see the ideas from the articles applied to real systems.

Projects here are not all equally current. Some are active or current reference implementations. Others are historical systems kept because the architecture, tradeoffs, or implementation lessons are still useful.

Reference Implementations

Start here when you want current project context:

  • Reference implementation: OttO is a Go-based IoT edge runtime for coordinating sensors, actuators, APIs, and gateway behavior.
  • Active: Trader is a Go backtesting and trading engine used to discuss strategy boundaries, numeric correctness, and testable trading logic.

Historical Case Studies

These projects are older, but still useful as engineering examples:

  • Historical: RedEye is an API-driven camera and robotics system with video, control, and computer-vision concerns.
  • Historical: How I Made This Web Site documents the site stack: Hugo, Markdown, Bootstrap, GitHub Pages, and the publishing workflow.

How Projects Fit the Site

Projects are case studies and reference implementations. The IoT and Software sections contain the more canonical architecture and delivery guidance. Notes contain smaller working references and older implementation details.

OttO — IoT Edge Runtime

An open-source IoT edge runtime in Go that manages sensors and actuators across embedded Linux hardware with a type-safe device abstraction layer, offline-first behavior, and a mock-friendly design for laptop development.

Trader — FX Backtesting and Live Trading Engine

A Go engine for backtesting and live paper-trading Forex strategies against OANDA, with a REST/WebSocket API, embedded UI, and Claude MCP tool integration for querying accounts and running backtests from an AI assistant.

How I Made This Web Site

This is my personal website which you happen to be looking at. It is a static site authored with plaintext and generated by the static site generator hugo.

RedEye Camera

RedEye is API driven camera server with built in capabilities of running video streams through Computer Vision algorithms and controlling Robots with GPIO and other IO methods. The API provides complete control over the camera and accessories.
