Novalandia

personal site / web platform

A heavily customized Jekyll site rebuilt from minima into a content-heavy platform with automation pipelines and social syndication.

  • Maintains years of writing and media in a static-first architecture.
  • Supports dynamic-feeling features without sacrificing fast load times.

Stack: Jekyll, SCSS, JS, Python, Ruby

How I built this

I migrated from theme defaults into custom templates, split concerns by feature, and built scripts for tags, related posts, feeds, and publishing workflows.

Linkgarden

link-in-bio style product

A customizable link platform inspired by creator needs: fast, clear, and flexible without subscription lock-in.

  • Designed for quick setup with high visual legibility.
  • Built as an extensible base for future hosted offerings.

Stack: HTML, CSS, JS

How I built this

I designed reusable layout blocks and component options so each user page can be personalized without rewriting structure.

MKULTRA.SOCIAL

self-hosted fediverse infrastructure

Personal GoToSocial instance with custom automation scripts for publishing, ingestion, and metadata workflows.

  • Automates post distribution across multiple platforms.
  • Cuts repetitive social publishing tasks.

Stack: GoToSocial, Python, shell automation

How I built this

I scripted content bridges between collections and fediverse APIs, then added guardrails for token handling and scheduled operations.

DiscoverFedi

fediverse discovery app

Self-hosted app/site to explore public fediverse instances, hashtags, and images without account requirements.

  • Onboarding-friendly entry point for the fediverse.
  • Works via web and F-Droid channels.

Stack: Dart/Flutter + web backend

How I built this

I structured data views around real discovery behavior: saveable entities, lightweight browsing, and no forced registration friction.

Eyeshadow 2600 FM

music catalog

Multi-year music body of work spanning experimental electronic, darksynth, electro, and ambient releases.

Role: composition, production, release pipeline

How I built this

I treated releases as iterative product launches: concept framing, production cycles, and audience distribution strategy.

VAL3R1E

experimental AI-assisted music project

A newer project focused on lyric-driven tracks and AI-assisted vocal experimentation.

Role: writing, arrangement, prompt/voice experimentation

How I built this

I used AI as a creative tool in a controlled pipeline, balancing generated vocal output with authored structure and editing.

ExTube

desktop utility

Single-executable desktop app for URL-based YouTube extraction with directory selection.

Stack: Python desktop tooling

How I built this

I focused on minimal user friction: one URL, one destination choice, and a clear job flow from input to output.

Gridstream

feed reader

Feed reader available as executable and browser interface with folder management and organization features.

Stack: Python + web UI

How I built this

I prioritized information architecture and quick categorization so users can scale from a few feeds to large reading sets.

GuestPoast

reusable web component

Guestbook system for static sites using JS + Python backend, with email notifications and moderation support.

Stack: JavaScript, Python, static-site integration

How I built this

I designed it for static-site owners who need live interactivity without giving away control to third-party SaaS platforms.

[REVOSA] + AyaSys

3D design + virtual product stores

Long-term 3D and graphics work for virtual storefronts with sustained product development and brand continuity.

Role: 3D modeling, texturing, product design
