About Me

I'm your tech-savvy neighbor who turns "how does this even work?" into "oh, that's genius!” (or at least trying to). With an insatiable curiosity for all things tech and AI, I'm on a mission to make apps that actually work (shocking, I know) and to bring a sprinkle of fun to everything I touch.

When I'm not glued to my keyboard, you'll find me rolling dice (well, maybe virtually) and commanding the realm of board games - whether it's Monopoly showdowns or epic Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. I'm all about the challenge, the strategy, and maybe just a little trash talk (all in good fun, of course).

Basically, I code like it's magic, game like it's war, and learn like there's no tomorrow. Life's just better when you keep it weird!

Stacks & Stuffs

Over the years, I’ve worked with a variety of tech stacks and technology, each with its own quirks, strengths, and occasional existential crises. While I have my personal favorites, that doesn’t mean one is objectively better than the others - it just means I like it more (and probably argue about it passionately). The charts in this section are my stacks, ranking in favorite.

Projects & Apps

Whether it's automating workflows, simplifying tasks, showing off (LOL), or just making life a bit easier, these are the creations I've built and/or self-hosted. Take a look - you might find something useful (or at least mildly impressive)!

Appsmith

My quick and easy go-to for when I need to build a quick dashboard for database review and testing purposes.

Adguard

Network level protection and spam filtering for free? Who can say no to that!

Appwrite

One of my favorite replacement for Firebase and other BaaS.

Typebot

Quickly launch any programmable chat bot. This and n8n gives me the ultimate power to make bots that integrate deeply with other services.

Burnit

Made this while learning Docker, and I use it very often. Simple and configurable way to share secrets across the internet.

Buzz Me

I developed this to provide customizable, easy to use alternative to Linktree and other digital business card services.
View

Change Detection

Monitoring change logs, prices and pretty much anything accessible to the internet.

Chatwoot

Open sourced chat system that I can embed on websites to chat live with customers. Yes, it's the one used on this website.

DifyAI

An experimental low code AI builder that I've found to be slightly more complicated than what it should be. It's good to play with different tools to understand the AI under the hood though.

Directus

My favorite headless CMS. I can whip up an application with the backend so fast that it feels like witch-craft.

FreshRSS

The name says everything. It's minimal, convenient and works flawlessly. I use it to read my feeds.

Glances

A good alternative to btop that I can use to see my servers' stats through the web.

Kafka

An easy, self-hostable publish/subscribe messaging service. However, I don't have any application that's large enough to make good use of this.

Mattermost

Replacement for Discord that I use for my personal network/group.

Jellyfin

Where I store my favorite movies that I've watched.
View

n8n

My favorite, most relied tool for designing and making automations that deeply integrate with other services.

Neko

A good party-screen-sharing kind of platform to do stuff together with my friends.

NPM

Nginx Proxy Manager - I can deploy multiple reverse proxy servers with a snap of of fingers.

OPNSense

The Open Sourced firewall OS that I rely on to protect my services.

Pairdrop

I occassionally use this to transfer files between different devices in the same network.
View

Portainer

With more than half of my services are with Docker (even the software I wrote myself), this gives me a good way to monitor their health and view their info when needed.

QR Generator

I like to generate QR code, so why not host one that I can use myself?


View

Start Page

I develop this to provide me a quick start page on browsers where I can navigate to my bookmarks using only the keyboard.
View

Stashapp

Well, a self hosted version for my collection of motivational videos.

Temporary Mail

Generate temporary emails to use to register for freebies and promotions and whatnot.

Upsnap

Because I want to turn on my computers
and servers when I'm not home.

Uptime Kuma

Monitor my services with a modern, simple interface.

Vault Warden

My everyday-use password manager.

xWiki

I develop as a quick wiki. This is where I store my knowledge. They can be exported to Markdown files too!

URL Shortener

My hosted version of URL Shortener.
