Web development
Designing and coding sites, applications, and digital tools that belong to the people using them. My goal is to make this my primary source of income.

Development.
And everything with a circuit board.
I've always had a deep interest in computers and figuring out exactly how things work. Building websites is where I want to focus professionally, but it is far from the only thing I love tinkering with.
Video game development
I want to make my own games. Not just play them, but learn everything behind the mechanics, the art, the systems, and that feeling that makes a game unforgettable.
Ideas first. Experiments next. Finished games when they're ready.
PC building
Choosing parts, diagnosing hardware, optimizing performance, and understanding the machine down to its smallest useful component. There's something deeply satisfying about building a computer yourself.
Retro console modding
Restoring, repairing, modifying, and bringing old gaming hardware back to life. The joy is half the finished console and half discovering how it works.
What I'm working toward
More independent websites, more custom software, more creative game experiments, and enough technical freedom to chase whichever curiosity comes next. I don't believe you have to pick just one thing to care about.
// UTILITIES / BUILT FOR THE CURIOUS
Tech toolbox. No nonsense.
Useful little tools for everyday computer work. The local converters run in your browser; IP lookup contacts a third-party geolocation service.
01 / IMAGES
Image converter
Turn images into WebP, PNG, or JPEG. Choose image quality before downloading.
Your image stays on this device.
02 / NETWORK
IP address lookup
Get public IP details such as approximate city, region, country, ISP, ASN and timezone.
Enter a public IP address to begin.
Data from ipwho.is. Lookup sends the entered IP to that service. IP locations are approximate, not street addresses.
03 / DATA
JSON formatter
Format, minify, and validate JSON without sending it to a server.
Ready.
04 / TEXT
Text & URL encoder
Encode or decode URLs and Base64 UTF-8 text.
05 / WEB DESIGN
Color converter
Convert between HEX, RGB and HSL. Copy CSS-ready values.
06 / DAILY CONVERSIONS
Unit converter
Feet, inches, meters, miles, pounds and kilograms.
Converted value
07 / DOCUMENTS
PDF ↔ Word
Document conversion needs a reliable layout engine. Rather than pretend a static site can faithfully convert every PDF or Word document, use a dedicated converter.
External Adobe service. Review its privacy terms before uploading documents.
08 / WINDOWS 11
Set up a local Windows account
A quick reference for Windows 11 when you don't want your PC sign-in tied to a Microsoft account.
NEW WINDOWS 11 PC
- Complete the Windows 11 first-run setup with a Microsoft account if the installer requires it. Home and Pro for personal use officially require one during setup.
- Once at the desktop, open Settings → Accounts → Your info.
- Choose Sign in with a local account instead, verify your identity, and create a local username and password.
- Choose Sign out and finish, then sign back in using your new local account.
ADD ANOTHER LOCAL USER
- Open Settings → Accounts → Other users → Add account.
- Select I don't have this person's sign-in information.
- Select Add a user without a Microsoft account.
- Set the username, password and security questions.
This is the supported route, not a command-prompt bypass. Microsoft changes first-boot setup flows across Windows builds. Back up important data, and remember your new password.
Converters are best-effort utilities. Double-check results before relying on them in production.
