BIO

I have been developing for the web since the early 2000s, starting with manual coding in lightweight text editors. Core stack includes vanilla HTML/CSS for structure and styling, JavaScript for client-side interactivity, PHP and Python for server-side logic and APIs, MariaDB for data, and Nginx as a web server—setting the foundation in core web technologies.

Early engineering work involved frontend and backend development, experimentation, R&D, agency freelancing, and direct client work.

End-to-end full-stack projects included team collaboration and partnerships, serving as developer, technical coordinator, or consultant. Responsibilities spanned frontend implementation (including complex UIs), backend development (APIs, authentication, database management, and admin interfaces) for custom servers, and automation tooling—strategic planning, product design, branding, server administration (self-hosted and cloud), monetization features (subscriptions, payment gateways, cryptocurrency flows). Focused on lightweight code, minimal dependencies, performance, visual polish, and human-centered UX.

My systems and security expertise covers operational security, Linux administration and web-server setup (specialized distributions for privacy, forensics, and analysis), hardened infrastructures, and independent deployment of production-grade webservers.

Bitcoin and blockchain work began in 2013 with experiments in the node environments, mining setups, wallet and cold storage management, and development of custom crypto infrastructure. This provided deep insight into decentralized systems, incentives, scalability, and monetary sovereignty.

Since 2019, I've operated independently, managing the full lifecycle of web products solo—from initial concept and research through implementation, deployment, and ongoing maintenance of self-sustaining, scalable, and performant systems.

Currently experimenting with AI tools in web applications.
