Full-stack, shipping, and finishing my degree

I’m a senior finishing a Cybersecurity Engineering degree, and I already ship production software across mobile, web, SEO, and monitoring products.

I’m Ash Morales. I build and share work as Ash the Dev. I’m an iOS and Android developer with Commit Happens on Google Play and the Apple App Store, and a full-stack developer. I’m a senior completing my Cybersecurity Engineering degree, and I apply what I’m learning about auth, careful data access, and safer product defaults to the software I ship.

I build with React, TypeScript, Supabase, PostgreSQL, OAuth, serverless functions, and Vercel. I ship API endpoints, Supabase row-level security (RLS) policies, and the data pipelines behind them across safety tooling, analytics platforms, and client sites.

The ecosystem spans Commit Happens (monitoring & SEO intelligence), Pretty Fly for a Website (educational SEO & performance writing), and SecureMeBuddy (online safety tooling). These are connected properties with clear jobs.

Who I work with

  • Founders and small businesses shipping a serious web presence
  • Teams that need SEO, monitoring, or performance without a full in-house bench
  • Operators who want reliable full-stack delivery with thoughtful auth and data access
  • Clients open to freelance, consulting, contract, or fractional engineering

How I build software

  • Clarify users, constraints, and what “done” looks like
  • Design data models, RLS, and APIs as one system
  • Ship responsive UI with accessibility and performance in mind
  • Deploy on Vercel, then monitor analytics, SEO, and uptime

Technology stack

  • Mobile: iOS and Android development
  • Frontend: React, TypeScript, HTML/CSS
  • Backend: Supabase, PostgreSQL, serverless APIs, OAuth
  • Ops: Vercel, Redis, Google Cloud APIs, Search Console
  • Focus areas: SEO systems, monitoring, and safer product defaults from my degree coursework

Development philosophy

  • Practical software over demos and slideware
  • Auth and access rules designed with the feature, not after
  • Measurement (traffic, SEO, uptime) belongs in the shipping loop
  • Clear case studies and articles beat vague claims

Why practical software

Production constraints teach what practice projects cannot: real users, real downtime, and real leads. I focus on software that solves a concrete problem and can be operated after launch, whether that is a client site, an SEO system, or a monitoring product like Commit Happens, while I finish my Cybersecurity Engineering degree.

Operations console for monitoring tools and traffic

A separate admin experience for SecureMeBuddy: dark UI, Supabase-backed telemetry, and views that make tool health, risk, and audit history easy to scan.

Navigation groups Overview, Intelligence Center, System health, Lookups, Signal triage, and utilities (API keys, Affiliates, Change log), with paths back to the public app and global alerts in the header.

Overview summarizes lookups, risk levels, tool success rates, latency, signups, sessions, and shortcuts into trends. Intelligence Center breaks down tool events by time window, outcome mix, provider volume, and latency. System health turns that into per-integration cards with status labels for quick triage.

Signal triage uses a Kanban-style board with filters so open signals stay visible; Change log is a filterable audit table with severity, actor, linked entities, and resolution actions when you need a paper trail.

How I build software

A practical workflow I use across personal products, client sites, and team projects.

  1. Understand the problem

    Clarify users, constraints, and what “done” looks like before writing code.

  2. Design data models, RLS, and APIs

    Model schemas, auth boundaries, Supabase RLS policies, and API contracts as one system, not separate layers.

  3. Build frontend experiences

    Ship responsive UI with clear hierarchy, accessibility, and performance in mind.

  4. Build backend systems

    Implement serverless functions, database access, data pipelines, and API endpoints as connected systems.

  5. Integrate APIs and authentication

    Wire third-party services, OAuth flows, and session handling aligned with those access rules.

  6. Test and debug

    Validate flows end to end, trace failures, and fix edge cases before release.

  7. Deploy using Vercel

    Ship production builds with environment configuration and monitoring hooks.

  8. Monitor performance and improve

    Track analytics, SEO signals, and real usage to prioritize the next fixes.
