This page showcases a collection of my personal projects.
Some are private, while others are open for everyone to explore, modify, and use.
These projects reflect my experiments, learning, and interests outside of client work.

Solar Atlas

Live version

Solar Atlas is a platform that visualizes global solar energy generation through an interactive map interface.
It presents complex energy data in a sleek, intuitive way, making it easily accessible to users.

Why this exists

• I built this application because I couldn’t find any application that showed solar energy info per region in an intuitive and beautiful way.
• I wanted to mess with real world stats
• Maps are cool.

Self-Hosted Email Stack (Listmonk + Postfix + Docker + Linux VM)

Build Time: ongoing (~2 weeks planned)

Live version

This setup is a fully self-hosted infrastructure for transactional and newsletter email.
It runs Listmonk for subscriber and campaign management and Postfix as the mail transfer agent, all containerized via Docker and deployed on a Linux VM.
No custom application code exists — the system is configured using official Docker images and tuned with DNS and mail server settings.

Why this exists

• Hosted mailing platforms introduce rate limits, opaque filtering, and cost scaling.
• Deliverability engineering requires direct access to authentication layers and queue behavior.
• The project is a practical way to understand SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR records, HELO policies, and SMTP trust scoring.
• The goal is ownership: a portable, reproducible infrastructure where every part of the mail pipeline is observable and modifiable.
