What I make beyond code

Software is half of what an organisation needs from me. The other half is what it shows the world — reports typeset in code, promo films, pitch decks, event slides and newsletters — plus the data work and findability underneath. Everything here shipped for a real organisation.

One · Typeset PDF reports

Reports that trace every figure

Funder-grade reports typeset in code (Typst), where every figure traces to a named source.

Five pages from She Sharp's 2026 half-year report: the cover, an at-a-glance spread, a cohort page, a member snapshot and a community-events page

She Sharp 2026 Half-Year Report

She Sharp

A 31-page funder report for a NZ women-in-STEM charity, typeset in Typst from the charity's own event register, member-platform database and booking exports — with a build gate that refuses to ship a figure not traced to a source.

  • Typst + CeTZ charts

Seven · SEO & GEO

Surfaced by Claude, confirmed by the founder

Making work findable by search engines and by the AI models people now ask instead.

Chan Meng's LinkedIn post about Engram beside the founder's reply and the four layers of her public footprint: llms.txt, JSON-LD, geo-markdown-mirror and one source of truth

Surfaced by Claude, confirmed by the founder

Engram

When Engram founder Luka Madzarac asked Claude Code to find an AI architect, it surfaced me, and he confirmed it publicly on LinkedIn. The public footprint it read is built for exactly that reader — llms.txt, JSON-LD and an open-source record, all generated from one data source.

  • 4,264 impressions
  • llms.txt + JSON-LD
  • geo-markdown-mirror skill

“It's true, Claude Code surfaced Chan as one of the strongest matches for what we're looking for.”
