Recently worked on Luna’s Ascension, a website that had gone down and was no longer functioning correctly.
I diagnosed the underlying website/server issues, restored the site, resolved the problems preventing it from running properly, and brought the platform back online.
Website recovery projects aren’t always about building something new — sometimes the real challenge is understanding an existing system, identifying what broke, and restoring it without disrupting the parts that already work.
Work included:
• Website troubleshooting & recovery
• Server-side issue diagnosis
• Existing codebase debugging
• Website functionality restoration
• Production environment fixes
• Stability checks after recovery
🌐 Luna’s Ascension
From broken websites to full-stack applications, I help businesses diagnose technical problems and get their platforms running reliably again.
And somehow, almost one full day of those three went into the intro you see when the page first opens.
Not because it was necessary — mostly because I’ve wanted to try something like this for a long time.
Web design and development are far from my main field, so I kept putting this idea off. This challenge finally gave me a reason to test it properly — and seeing it actually work is ridiculously satisfying.
The video was converted into an image sequence and tied directly to scrolling on desktop and swiping on mobile, so the animation is controlled by the user as they move through the page.
Right now the project is already at Build 4.2.3.
The backend is working properly, the main mechanics are in place, but visually… there’s still a lot to redo. The current plan is to rebuild almost the entire visual layer before the final version.
I also found out today that Lovable reduced the number of prize spots quite significantly — apparently, there will only be 3 finalists.
That definitely makes the odds a little more painful 😅
But either way, I’m already getting a new portfolio case out of this project, and I’m finally experimenting with things I’ve wanted to build for a long time.
How’s everyone else doing?
Still working on your project, or have you already submitted it?
Or did you decide not to participate at all? If so, I’m curious — what made you skip it?
That intro effect looks sick! 🔥 By the way, I'm working on a car showroom project too, but not sure if I'll manage to finish and submit it on time. If luck is on my side, it’s going to be a really fun competition haha. Good luck!
I designed and engineered this interactive astronomical almanac for Ephemeris.
Blending nineteenth century celestial cartography with responsive data visualization required coordinating intricate astronomical calculations with period print typography. Programming a rotatable calendar dial that recalculates the night sky in real time, projecting accurate planetary alignments and lunar phases alongside a cataloged archive spanning 174 historical editions, turned complex ephemeris tables into an engaging visual experience.😊 👍
Web development, to me, is not just about building websites. It’s about crafting seamless, clean, and high-performing digital experiences that serve a real purpose.
I approach every project with a focus on thoughtful design, reliable development, performance, and most importantly, understanding and fulfilling the client’s actual needs.
Because a successful website should not only look good. It should work effectively, support its goals, and create a meaningful experience for its users.
