I build websites. And the systems behind them.
Interfaces, content systems, deployments, servers, and the awkward glue in between. This is where I keep my work and what I learn along the way.
Selected work
All projects
Flatline
An Uptime Kuma fork rebuilt around shared operators, live server telemetry, Telegram alerts, and an agent-friendly API.
Maine
A local-first SSH client with native macOS terminals, an encrypted host vault, and optional self-hosted sync.
More engineering work
Client systems are documented under codenames. The architecture and engineering are public; the client identities are not.
Falco
Portable SSH launchers for people and AI agents: one executable per server, private credential setup, and no separate SSH client to configure.
Dot Island
A personal Android 16 camera-cutout overlay for Spotify, calls, and opt-in Live Updates, rebuilt as a monochrome island.
GRIDLINE
A multilingual public-information platform for a national infrastructure programme, moved off a legacy CMS onto a custom Next.js and PostgreSQL system without losing its search traffic.
NIGHTSHIFT
A daily socio-political newspaper whose scattered Django, Flask, and Nuxt stack I consolidated into one FastAPI workspace and cut over live in a single night.
Recent writing
All notesMy stealth model signed its commits as Claude Opus
I used a stealth model to extend an open-source monitoring tool, and it signed its commits as Claude Opus. What stealth models are, and what that signature does and doesn't prove.
There's no such thing as "just move it to a VPS"
Moving a site to a VPS sounds like an afternoon of work. Why cheap code, old systems and real infrastructure make it a much bigger job.
KIMEP lost its app, so I wrote a new one
KIMEP's student app vanished from the App Store while its service kept running. So I wrote a new mobile client for my schedule and grades.
A little about me
I build web systems from the interface down: websites, content architecture, integrations, deployments, servers, and the awkward glue between them.
Lately I have been moving deeper into networking, hardware, cybersecurity, and the infrastructure underneath the web.
I make websites, systems, and occasionally problems for myself.
