IsItUp
2025IsItUp is a Django-based uptime monitoring service using PostgreSQL and systemd timers to run independent background checks, record uptime history, and surface results in a dashboard. It required building a secure API, background execution, and full Linux deployment.
Highlights
- Automated Health Checks – configurable background checks for uptime and response time.
- Decoupled Background Execution – monitoring runs via systemd services/timers, independent of web traffic.
- Historical Uptime Data – stores and surfaces availability and latency over time.
- Secure API Access – API key authentication and rate limiting for data access.

6Aside league scraper
2025
Our local league's website is outdated and hard to use. I built a scraper and frontend that fetches results, fixtures, and the current table, then restructures everything into a clean, well-organized JSON object and presents it in a modern UI.
Highlights
- Clear view of upcoming fixtures and past results.
- Shows exactly which teams have played each other and the final scores.
- Readable, up-to-date league table.
How it works
- The scraper periodically fetches data and builds a fresh JSON snapshot.
- The backend serves the cached JSON for fast loads, avoiding unnecessary hits to the source site.
- The frontend renders fixtures, previous results, and standings in a simple, responsive layout.
This project blends web scraping, data modelling, and UI work to make following our league much more enjoyable.
