Jared Furtado

I'm a Computer Engineering student at Goa College of Engineering (2024–2028), still early in learning. I've been practising with React, Next.js and Node.js through small projects, a couple of client websites and a lot of hackathons.

Right now I'm learning DevOps (Docker, GitHub Actions, Terraform and Kubernetes) through 100xDevs and a few small projects of my own.

In progress

Small projects I'm building to learn DevOps: containers, pipelines, infrastructure as code and Kubernetes.

  • BeaconIn progressCode ↗

    A deploy-aware monitoring and incident platform, run with Docker Compose. Early stage; I'm building it to learn observability.

    Docker Compose

  • Cless-TUIIn progressCode ↗

    A terminal chess game against a bot, built module by module as a way to practise Go, testing, Docker, CI/CD, Terraform and Kubernetes.

  • PairUpEarly stageCode ↗

    A collaborative interview platform. Early stage.

  • RunboxEarly stageCode ↗

    A sandboxed code-execution engine. Early stage.

  • ReviewPilotEarly stageCode ↗

    An AI code-review GitHub App. Early stage.

Projects

  • InvestorFinderCode ↗

    A free weekly scraper that collects Indian startup funding news from public sources, filters for EdTech deals and checks investors against the SEBI AIF registry. Runs on a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow and writes results to public CSVs, with no server to maintain.

    GitHub Actions

  • Latex-ServiceCode ↗

    A small Express.js service with a REST API that compiles LaTeX to PDF, so you don't need a local TeX setup. Packaged as a single stateless Docker container.

    Express.js · Docker

  • secure-image-encryption-aes-256-gcmCode ↗

    Encrypts images in the browser with AES-256-GCM using the Web Crypto API, so neither the image nor the key ever reaches a server.

    Web Crypto API

  • broken-link-auditCode ↗

    A free command-line crawler that finds broken links, images and media on any site with no URL limit, and reports them by page. Comes with automated tests.

    CLI

  • RideBuddyCode ↗

    Carpooling for students: a React frontend and a Node/Express backend with Firebase sign-in, now merged into one monorepo. Containerising and deploying it is next.
