This site is where I experiment with the projects I build during my downtime. The frontend is deployed on Netlify, the backend is a Laravel API on DigitalOcean, and both update automatically through Git pushes. It keeps things fast, simple, and easy to evolve.
The frontend is written in Vue 3 with the Composition API. I converted an old HTML5UP template into a modern Vue setup using clean, mobile-first CSS. The backend handles authentication, token flows, and all API endpoints that power the tools on the site.
I built a token-based login system that lets me securely access stored messages and update content through the API. The site also hosts small tools and projects, some fully built, others in progress as I test new ideas.
Everything is version-controlled. When I push new code, Netlify updates the frontend and DigitalOcean pulls the latest backend changes. It’s a clean, lightweight CI/CD setup that keeps deployments smooth and predictable.
This site acts as my sandbox. It’s where I try new technologies, build small utilities, and experiment with architecture without the pressure of shipping a full production app. It’s constantly changing as I learn and test new things.
I’m based in Colorado Springs, working in technical troubleshooting and customer-facing support. Solving issues quickly and helping people get their apps running again is what I do best. This site is the same mindset: Learn, build, break things safely, and keep improving.
