Unleashed
A fan-made Monster Energy flavour tracker: every flavour across fourteen ranges, and which markets each one has been sold in. Tick them off, rate them, count the cans, then compare collections with friends from a public profile.
Jack Greenacre
Software engineer and student in Norfolk, UK. I design, build, host and maintain the things below - all of them small enough that I did every part, which is the part I like.
Things I have built
Jake Tries Photography
An automotive and motorsport photography site: public event albums, private client galleries behind a PIN, and an image shop. Photographs are watermarked and handed out through short-lived signed links, so an original never sits on a public URL.
CJ Wortley & Son
Vehicle servicing, repairs and MOTs for a family garage business in Methwold Hythe. Services, trailers and contact, laid out so a phone visitor gets to the phone number in one tap.
AJW Marine
Marine and vehicle repairs across Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. A brochure site that has to answer one question quickly - do you fix this, and how do I reach you - with a gallery of finished work behind it.
About
I am a software engineer based in Norfolk, UK, currently studying alongside the work I take on. Most of what I do is web: client projects, and a long tail of tools that exist because something annoyed me enough to fix it.
I started with Perl, which is still what a good deal of my production code is written in, and have since spent most of my time in TypeScript and C#. I like the whole stack rather than one slice of it - I would rather understand the database, the server and the reverse proxy than hand any of them to someone else.
Everything I build, I host and maintain myself: Docker on servers I administer, behind Caddy, with my own analytics rather than someone else’s. That is partly stubbornness and partly the belief that you do not really understand a system until you have been woken up by it.
What I work with
- Perl
- TypeScript
- C#
- Python
- SQL
- HTML & CSS
- Docker
- Linux

Something that needs building, hosting, or rescuing from whoever built it last time? Tell me roughly what and roughly when.
