Stack & skills

The stack, with receipts.

Anyone can list logos. This page works differently: every claim below links to something you can click and inspect — running live on this site or shipped in real client work. If I say I can build it, you can go and poke it.

  • Zero-dependency front end
  • WordPress to WebGL
  • AI-first tooling
  • Self-hosted to managed cloud

Capabilities

Seven layers, all inspectable.

01

Front-end engineering

This site is the demo: hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript with zero frameworks and zero dependencies. Canvas particle systems, a raw WebGL ember shader, physics simulations and a hundred interactive exhibits — all running on code you can read in your browser's view-source.

02

WordPress & e-commerce

Custom themes coded from scratch with no page-builder weight, and rescue work inside Elementor and WooCommerce stacks that other people built. The SMGT site is a hand-coded theme tuned for speed; the EBF work is custom components living inside Elementor Pro on a production finance site.

03

Web apps & modern stack

Beyond WordPress: application work in Next.js, React and TypeScript, with Convex for real-time data and Tailwind with shadcn/ui for interface speed. Aurora — an EOS business platform designed as an offline-first PWA with real-time sync — is the deep-end example.

04

AI systems

Claude-powered assistants, multi-agent desktop tooling and document pipelines — plus the harder research end: an LSTM trading system in Python and TensorFlow with its own backtesting framework. Every service on the homepage flips between a with-AI and without-AI version, because AI has to earn its keep.

05

Mobile

One Flutter codebase for iOS and Android: native-feeling apps designed for thumbs, built offline-first and carried through to store submission. Honest framing — this is a capability I scope per project, and the offer page spells out exactly what an MVP includes.

06

Infrastructure & hosting

The unglamorous layer that keeps everything alive: DNS, SSL, email routing, cPanel and managed hosts like Kinsta, Docker containers, Nextcloud and Nginx Proxy Manager, with GitHub-driven deployment workflows. Set up with practical best practice — permissions, backups and a repeatable release process.

07

SEO & performance

Technical SEO and Core Web Vitals done at the server and the markup, not bolted on with plugins: site structure, metadata, image optimisation pipelines and server-level speed configuration. Rankings compound over months — honestly — and performance is re-checked every care cycle.

The method

How I keep it sharp.

The Lab is self-funded R&D: a hundred interactive exhibits — physics, shaders, algorithms, playable games — each built from scratch and each documented with an under-the-hood panel explaining the real algorithm. It exists so client work stays ahead of the curve instead of catching up to it.

Applied closes the loop: it maps those techniques to the industries and page placements where they earn money, with six complete demo sites showing them working in context — logistics, hospitality, finance, education, fashion and events.

And this site itself is the living demo. It ships improvements continuously — the same measure-and-improve loop I sell is the one it runs on. Nothing here is a stock template, a bought theme or a framework default; if it moves, I wrote it.

Put the stack to work.

Tell me what you're building — or what's broken — and I'll tell you straight which of these layers it needs.
