Front-End Developer building websites that actually work.
Cover image for hi!, So for the Wonder
hi!, So for the Wonder challenge I built a glass terrarium that mirrors the actual weather outside — moss when it's cloudy, water ripples when it rains, embers when it's clear, frost when it's cold. It's grown out of a piece of driftwood, hand-blown look and all, and it's presented like a page out of a naturalist's field journal rather than another app with buttons. The whole thing started in Wonder Chat, just describing the scene until it looked right. The shader work is honestly what sold me on Wonder — I could try a moss texture, decide it looked flat, and push for depth and color variation in one more prompt instead of starting over. Same for the water, the embers, the frost. The idea almost stayed as "four pretty pictures you click through," which felt pointless once I said it out loud. It became a real thing once I hooked it up to live weather — now it's not decoration, it's actually checking the sky. I connected Wonder to my codebase through MCP (via Cursor) so it could pull my exported jar images straight into the working app, which saved me from manually downloading and re-uploading four separate files at 4am :0 It's small, but it's the first thing I've built in a while that I'd genuinely want to keep open on my desktop.

Cover image for Most portfolios are static. I
Most portfolios are static. I wanted mine to be alive. 💻⚡️ I built Pepsie.OS, a fully functional, browser-based operating system designed to be my personal mission control. It’s not just a landing page; it’s a high-security environment where my real-time data from GitHub, Linear, and Spotify converge. From password-protected vaults for my site templates to a secure Stripe-integrated checkout, Pepsie.OS bridge the gap between aesthetic design and hardcore technical utility. Welcome to my workbench. 1. The Vision: Why Pepsie.OS? As a developer, I find myself jumping between dozens of tabs. I wanted to create a "Single Pane of Glass"—a workbench that feels like a secure OS but runs entirely in the browser. I focused on a "Low-Light, High-Performance" aesthetic to keep the focus where it belongs: the code. 2. Real-Time Data Integration The sidebar isn't just for show. I used dynamic JSON fetching to pipe in: GitHub: My latest commits so clients can see I’m active. Linear: My current sprint tasks to show project progress. Spotify: A live "Now Playing" widget with pulsing animations to show the vibe behind the build. 3. The "Vault" & Secure Commerce I don’t just show my work; I sell it. The Restricted Area: A password-protected directory for "Classified" project files. Secure Checkout: I integrated a Stripe-ready modal system for my Tax-Consulting Site Templates, allowing users to go from "Preview" to "Purchase" without leaving the OS environment. 4. Core Features at a Glance: Draggable Window Engine: A custom-built UI that allows for a multi-tasking workspace. Live Terminal: A built-in CLI for navigating the system directory. Portfolio iframe: Seamlessly preview my past work within a "window" of the new OS. Building this required more than just CSS—it required thinking about how a developer actually works. It’s about security, speed, and a touch of personality. Whether you're checking my availability or buying a template, you're experiencing my workflow firsthand. loom link: https://www.loom.com/share/423fe8bf793b44858fc196c823d922c5 site link:
