A Go and Flutter media server with real HLS streaming and auth. A Python desktop engine with OAuth and systemd supervision. Before that, production WordPress, WooCommerce and PHP for real businesses. I own features from the database up to the interface.
Independent work
The client work below is what pays the bills. This is what I build to find out whether I can. Every one of these is checkable, because the code is on GitHub.
A self-hosted family media server. A Go backend with JWT auth, HLS streaming, seek, per-user watch progress, TMDB metadata, subtitle download, trickplay and a background job runner, over SQLite.
The client is a single Flutter codebase that builds to Android, Windows, Linux and the web. Tests cover the media, playback and job layers.
A desktop player that unifies Spotify and YouTube Music into one queue, built as an Omarchy plugin. A roughly 3,800-line Python engine sits behind a QML service and bar widget.
The engine speaks to the Spotify Web API, spotifyd, MPD, ytmusicapi, yt-dlp and pactl. The HTTP API is loopback-only with a minted bearer token, Origin and Referer rejection, a Host allowlist and POST-only mutations. Runs as a systemd user service.
A Final Fantasy XIV plugin that manages party-finder presets, with a crowdsourced API client, an achievements and rating system, and a full in-game UI.
It has been forked and adopted by other developers, which is the part I did not expect.
A desktop bar widget showing live Discord voice-call state: a latency-coloured dot, who is talking right now, and mute state, read over local RPC.
It uses Discord’s own voice detection rather than guessing, and works against native, Flatpak, Snap and Vesktop clients.
A React and Material UI admin panel for a transcription service, with live queue status, call history and error panels over WebSockets.
Still on react-scripts, which is deprecated. Migrating to Vite is on the list.
I run Arch and Hyprland daily, so the Linux work is not theoretical: out-of-tree wireless driver builds against the right kernel branch, HID scancode remapping through udev hwdb, Wine and Proton syscall-filter debugging, and reading coredumps when something dies. I write Go, Python, C# and TypeScript, and I am comfortable in a terminal.
Client work
Production sites for real businesses: social, e-commerce, booking and gaming platforms. This is the part where other people depend on the work being right.
A full-featured social platform built from the ground up, with profiles, groups, real-time chat, and content sharing.
Redesigned pages and parts of the site to look better, fixed bugs, integrated features that exist only on mobile, and shipped many new features across the whole stack, PHP, JavaScript, HTML and CSS, on a MySQL database I helped run and manage.
A pet-travel service that lets owners request and manage pet relocation bookings online.
Fully redesigned on desktop and mobile to match the client’s requests, with airport pricing, an email system, Gravity Forms, application forms, and a full FAQ, all handled professionally on WordPress for everyone.
An e-commerce shop for feline treatment products, built on the same foundation as PetJetPals.
Delivered a product catalog, a smooth checkout flow, and a database behind inventory and orders for everyone involved.
A series of five themed portals, Tiamat’s Return, Echoes of the Past, Elden Aion and Origin Aion (current), built for private game servers.
Integrated the game database into each site so players can create accounts, log in, and track their progress. Built across 2017-2019 and 2025-2026.
About
Eight years of web work, and the pattern in it is that I do not like leaving the last ten percent to someone else. That has meant leading a large-scale redesign of a social platform’s core pages, running production MySQL when a page stopped loading, and rebuilding a booking service end to end because the forms were the problem.
More recently I have been writing the whole stack myself: a Go backend with JWT auth and HLS streaming, a Flutter client that ships to four platforms from one codebase, a Python engine with OAuth and systemd supervision, and C# plugins with in-game UIs. I care about how fast it loads, how it feels on a phone, and whether it still works when the data is ugly.
Before all of that, several years of WordPress, WooCommerce and PHP for paying clients, which is where I learned that most “front-end” problems are really form and email problems.
