Keggdirdle is a one-person shop building the interfaces that make complex systems usable — and a lab for whatever else is worth making.
Embed with your team or take on a scoped build. Angular and TypeScript specifically — eleven years of it, through four production codebases.
Component systems, state patterns, and the unglamorous plumbing that decides whether a frontend ages well or ages fast.
Dashboards and consoles for infrastructure that engineers actually want to use. Built for the people who read the logs.
A tower defense game where you defend a codebase from bad PRs across fifteen sprints. Single HTML file, vanilla JS, a lot of jokes about office culture.
Small hardware experiments — sensors, displays, and the occasional thing that blinks. Where the feedback loop runs in volts instead of console logs.
Prototypes built around mechanics worth exploring. Less about shipping to stores, more about finding out if the idea has legs.
The lab doesn't have a roadmap. That's the point. Good ideas tend to arrive uninvited.
Ken Eldridge is a senior frontend engineer based in San Francisco with eleven-plus years of production experience — most of it in Angular, TypeScript, and the infrastructure UIs that nobody brags about but everyone depends on.
Keggdirdle is the shop he runs when he's not doing that. Two sides: client work where the brief is real, and a lab where it isn't. Both feed each other.
The name is meaningless. That's also the point.
