I’m working on a pretty cool private equity platform at Pactio.
It’s probably the most complicated product I've ever worked on. The team is incredible & I’m lucky to be surrounded by incredibly talented people. Our head of engineering is a fantastic person too, so it makes working here so easy!
In my spare time I’m working on an AI assistant. I thought I would try sell it first, but given the ramp uptake I’ll probably open source it.
Code-sharing is a headache for customers. Trying to find your flight on a rotating screen is frustrating, and having a different flight number on your ticket compared to the actual flight is just confusing. We should do away with code-share numbers and use the operating airline’s flight number instead.
I've made an email-based AI personal assistant I thought I'd roll into a business, but ultimately have kept it for personal use. I may open source this as it's a fun project built entirely on Cloudflare Workers (with the exception of one Postgres DB & mail routing).
I've written some really crappy Notion API (before the official API) to act as a CMS for a headless site.
I'm at a weird point in my life that I need to work on these little hacky projects because they bring me genuine joy. It's like lego to me.
Exactly this. Apple devices in fact use a domain https://captive.apple.com/ to detect when to redirect to a captive portal which will grant the user access to the internet. HTTPS isn't used here because the captive experience is to re-write all DNS lookups to a local IP to serve the captive experience.
This experience would just redirect the user to a site they've never been to before, say: wa-man-likes-your-data.com. This could have a legitimate signed cert from anywhere and look legitimate to the device with a lock icon. Put the airline's logo and a form for PII, wait a couple of hours and you've collected a plane load of data.
I used to think about doing something similar but as an education campaign. Similar to Phishing Simulators at large corporates, I had the idea to display a captive page that explained what the user did and how they can learn to avoid it in future.
Apple & Google should really make it clearer on phones that users are joining untrusted networks, especially any network not implementing Wi-Fi Certified Passpoint (Hotspot 2.0).
