[ 02 ] // SERVICES
Engagement models — scoped, typed, shipped.
Two primary ways to work together. Each is priced and scoped up-front; no hourly surprise line items.
// PRIMARY
[ 01 ] ACTIVE
Custom Web & Application Development
End-to-end delivery of production web systems — from schema to ship. Typed, performant, and accessible by default.
- SvelteKit / Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres
- Server-driven, containerized deploys
- Design systems, not one-off pages
- Auth, webhooks, and integrations — wired correctly

[ 02 ] ADD-ON
Fedora Migration & Hardening
Move off macOS or Windows onto a Fedora workstation that boots fast, runs cool, recovers from mistakes, and locks down its network — set up in one hardening pass refined on my own daily-driver hardware.
- One-pass hardening — firewall, automatic security + system updates, codecs — so the machine maintains itself
- OS-wide undo: automatic snapshots with boot-menu rollback (a bad update is a two-minute fix, not a reinstall)
- Hardware that just works — Secure-Boot-signed NVIDIA, Wi-Fi/firmware, and battery, thermal & deep-sleep tuning
- Hardened networking — app-level firewall, VPN kill-switch, and secure remote-access mesh, no leaks
- A desktop shaped for real work — tiling layouts, per-app workspaces, a printed quick-reference, and a support window
[ 03 ] // INFRASTRUCTURE
The stack behind the studio.
Self-hosted, observed, and running now — shown as evidence, not a diagram. This is the operational spine the work ships on.

[ 04 ] // ABOUT
Engineer first. Designer when it ships the work.
Seven years shipping production software across web, mobile, and internal tooling. I take work end-to-end — the kind that needs someone equally comfortable in a database schema, a TypeScript generic, and a visual hierarchy.
Preference for typed languages, trunk-based workflows, and observability wired in before launch. I think in diagrams and ship in small increments.
