Topaz Turkenitz is the personal site of a full-stack engineer who describes himself as interested in large problems that help others. Rather than a company homepage or product landing page, it functions as a digital garden: a running record of things learned and experiments built along the way. The tone is understated, and the content is organized around writing and projects rather than services or offerings.
The blog covers concrete engineering topics, including JavaScript fundamentals in two parts, performance improvement notes, setting up Jest and writing a test quickly, running multiple processes with bash, deploying a socket.io app, and verifying when a file was written. Posts are dated and range across several years, giving a sense of ongoing practice rather than a polished tutorial series.
The projects section lists tools such as a Slack bot for figuring out who owns what, an interactive presentation tool called mightyslides, a 3D Mapbox representation of Melbourne buildings under construction, a React starter app, a bookmarklet for opening GitHub repos in CodeSandbox, a Chrome extension that enhances Trello’s progress bar, and an iPhone app for the mnemonic major system.
Developers who want short, practical write-ups on JavaScript, testing, and deployment will find the blog useful, while the project list offers inspiration for small, self-contained tools. Visitors can browse by date or jump directly to a project; there is no search or filtering, so scanning the arc
