Java and React application platforms
Java, React, Spring, Spring Boot, authentication flows, OpenID Connect, JWT, JWE, and the practical work of keeping enterprise systems reliable and maintainable.
I’m Ray Carroll. I build secure Java and React applications, cloud-backed delivery pipelines, and thoughtful Apple-platform apps that solve real problems without wasting people’s time or trust.
My background spans Java and React development, backend architecture, deployment automation, cloud infrastructure, security, and product-minded app development. I like systems that stay understandable as they grow.
Java, React, Spring, Spring Boot, authentication flows, OpenID Connect, JWT, JWE, and the practical work of keeping enterprise systems reliable and maintainable.
GitLab pipelines, runners, automation, and release workflows designed to remove friction instead of adding ceremony.
CloudFront, EC2, ECS, Fargate, ECR, Lambda, API Gateway, Docker, Linux, and the surrounding operational decisions that keep deployments clean.
Swift-based Apple apps built to be useful, direct, and respectful of user data instead of being bloated with tracking and noise.
I’ve spent more than three decades building software across a wide range of technologies and environments. That includes Java and React development, backend engineering, cloud architecture, developer tooling, operational automation, and iOS development.
These Apple apps are my private passion projects. I build them because I enjoy the craft of software development in the same way some people enjoy woodworking: designing, shaping, refining, and finishing something useful. This site exists mainly to support those apps and provide their privacy and support information.
These apps reflect the kind of software I like making: useful, focused, and designed to respect people’s attention and privacy.
A private, encrypted record keeper for important information like documents, notes, medical details, travel plans, attachments, and login records across the Apple ecosystem.
A solar positioning tool that helps you understand the sun’s real-time direction, elevation, and projected path using your device’s location and compass.
A simple, family-friendly take on Tic-Tac-Toe designed to be lightweight, offline, and fun without any monetization clutter.
