The tools I've built.

Most of these started with a real problem on a factory floor. Each one has a short write-up: what was breaking, and what I built to fix it.

The flagship

Hygiene Management System

One database behind every compliance document, across two sites. When a live data-loss incident hit, nothing was lost.

Inside the system

Performance Dashboard

One screen for the whole night – cleaned, by whom, on budget – with ring gauges that flag what’s slipping before it becomes an audit finding.

Inside the system

Floor Plan Maker

Every machine on a live map of the floor, colour-banded by area and showing what’s clean or overdue – a picture the team keeps current.

Inside the system

Holiday Booking

Books and authorises leave for a whole shift operation in one place – entitlement counted, cover protected, payroll email written for you.

Live · free to use

CIC Maker

A free tool that lets a food site own its own cleaning-instruction cards, instead of renting them from a chemical supplier.

Equipment documents

KPSCAN

A code on the machine that opens its cleaning card and its department folders – instead of someone walking to an office to find them.

Line tooling

Barcode Verification Tool

Checked tray-end barcodes against the master list so a wrong label got caught before the product shipped – built in two days, when a cyber-attack took out the software that used to do it.

Paperwork

Sign-off Sheet + QR sorter

Control sheets that print with a QR, then file themselves the moment a signed pile is scanned back in.

Live tool

SOP Maker

Controlled Standard Operating Procedures with the document control handled – and no way for two authors to clash a number.

Live tool

Panel Instructions

Machine guides overlaid on a photo of the real panel, opened by QR, in four languages.

Live tool

Panel Measurement

Un-skews a photo of a panel to true scale and reads real feature sizes off it – the maths written from scratch.

Live tool

SOP Studio

Illustrated, annotated work-instructions a worker opens by QR on the machine, step by step, in four languages.

Live · personal

Mentid

A personal "mental tidy" app – journal, decide on purpose, and see the gap between how sure you felt and how it went.

Live · for the fun of it

KubaOS Desktop

A website that behaves like a whole operating system – windows, a real terminal, and easter eggs. About 14,800 lines of vanilla JavaScript.

Most of the live tools are gathered on one hub at kubatools.uk.
