Hi! I'm Cassian Godsted. I currently work at the INTERalliance of Greater Cincinnati as the Internal Systems Admin, but I'm looking for a full time position and/or freelance work. I'm a recent graduate of Northern Kentucky University's Computer Information Technology program. In my free time, I build web projects.
This page is a portfolio of my various projects, mainly websites that I've worked on for the years. You may also be interested in a full resume, my GitHub, or my LinkedIn.
INTERalliance Projects
The INTERalliance of Greater Cincinnati is an education focused nonprofit focused on getting local students interested in technology. In 2017, I was hired onto INTERalliance as an intern, to handle various IT tasks during the summer while the Leadership Council IT Team was on summer break.
I ended up sticking around, and my current role as the Internal Systems Admin at INTERalliance handles all aspects of INTERalliance's IT needs throughout the year, from web development, to Windows and Linux laptop automation, to Python scripting and data analysis.
I've also had the opportunity to manage, maintain, and redesign the main INTERalliance and TechOlympics websites, as well as the site for our Wiki Races web app, and through INTERalliance was also given the opportunity to redesign the website for the Carnegie, a local theater in Covington, KY.
My biggest contribution to INTERalliance is the new versions of INTERalliance.org and TechOlympics.org, as well as the website for WiIT Cincy. They're powered by GitHub Pages, make use of Jekyll for dynamic data, and are automatically backed up in case of emergency. While not as initially user friendly as the former Wordpress and Elementor powered sites, they allow new ILC members to learn the foundations of HTML and CSS in a safe and backed up environment.
Norse IoT
In 2022, I was elected Vice President of the Norse IoT Club at NKU. As Vice President, I built an interface for scanning members Student IDs to check them into events, and was responsible for planning and executing our Website Workshops event, where we built HTML/CSS resumes for students to share on their personal NKU websites.
In 2023, I was then elected President of the club. One of my first actions was migrating the club's website to GitHub Pages. One of the chief benefits of this migration was that it was now able to be easily changed by myself and other club leadership and even interested members.
Freelance Work
After graudating in 2024, I had the opportunity to start working freelance. I'm always looking for work, so send me an email ([email protected]) if you need web development work done!
One recent project was a redesign of the website for Beechwood Farms, an HOA in Somerset, KY. They needed an informational site about their organization after losing access to their old site. As they were not able to get this done on their own, they brought me on to redesign and host their site.

Beechwood Farms needed a small informational site that gave details about their organization.
Personal Projects
One of my first personal projects was a site called Tier Away. Tier Away served as a tier list generator. Tier lists, for those unfamiliar, are a quick and easy way to rank various similar things, from the highest S Tier to the lowest F Tier.
Tier Away was prompted by my personal frustration that the only prominent tier list maker program required you to sign in with a social media account, and required that all tier lists you make be public. Tier Away did away with that, and let users dynamically make their own tier lists.
With the help of Luke Trenaman, who I had previously worked with on the INTERalliance Website Redesign in 2022, we built Tier Away in Summer of 2022. Tier Away is still in development but at this point it fulfills my needs for private tier list generation.
Tier Away
Tier Away is a simple, open source tier list creation tool. No accounts, no public data, no prep work, no hassle.

Tier Away was designed by Cassian Godsted, with help from Luke Trenaman.
JustServe
JustServe is a simple, open source, self hosted digital signage tool. No accounts, no public data, no prep work, no hassle.

JustServe was designed by Cassian Godsted.
In 2024, I began to work on a digital signage app called JustServe. JustServe is designed to be a simple and reliable digital signage solution that allows for a self-hosted server to show content on multiple connected clients.
The server can be self-hosted on any Linux machine with NodeJS, and all a client needs to connect is a web browser (with WebSocket support). This solution is ideal for conferences that want greater control over their digital signage without needing to pay for a cloud solution.
JustServe is still in active alpha development, so its not ready for production use.
