Projects
Things I've built.
Side projects, home lab experiments, and tooling that solves problems I actually have. Some shipped, some humming quietly in a rack at home.
Schwab Financial News Chat
AI-powered chat interface that surfaces real-time financial news and delivers market context through natural language. Explores RAG pipeline architecture and financial data APIs — a natural extension of the GenAI infrastructure work I do at Merck, applied to a personal use case.
Home Lab — EKS on Bare Metal
Self-hosted Kubernetes cluster running on bare metal at home, mirroring the multi-cloud EKS environments I manage professionally. Full observability stack: OpenTelemetry for instrumentation, Grafana dashboards, and structured logging. Used to test Terraform modules and experiment with SLO configs before they go anywhere near production.
alexanderwking.com
This site. Personal brand and portfolio built with Next.js 15, Framer Motion for animations, and deployed on Cloudflare Pages with R2 for asset storage. Designed to feel like me — dark, minimal, with a little 90s flash energy underneath.
Visit site→SRE Runbook Generator
Internal tooling that generates incident runbooks from alert definitions and postmortem history. Reduces time-to-action during incidents by surfacing relevant context automatically. Built on top of the same LLM infrastructure patterns I work with at Merck.
