One droplet. Everything.

The differentiator: I don't just build the apps — I run the whole stack they live on.

$ uname -a && echo "one box, everything"

A single DigitalOcean droplet — Ubuntu, Nginx, PHP-FPM 8.4, Node 20, MySQL, Redis, Reverb, Supervisor and Cloudflare Tunnels — hosting 18 production builds across multiple domains, all built and operated solo.

I own the full stack, not just the apps: reverse proxy and TLS, background processing, self-hosted services, and the network plumbing — down to WireGuard exit nodes and a custom Chrome MV3 VPN extension.
