The Full Stack

Many developers claim the full stack, but the proof is in the pudding: everything associated with this domain is self-written, hosted and managed. That includes the following technologies:

  • OS/Networking

    Debian Linux, BIND DNS, Nginx, LetsEncrypt SSL

  • Website

    Bespoke, back-end written in Go, with a pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript front-end

  • Email

    Self-hosted using iRedMail to organise and manage Dovecot IMAP, Postfix SMTP, MariaDB SQL, Amavisd/SpamAssassin, and Roundcube webmail.

Elsewhere, I utilise these technologies:

  • Free Cell App

    Card game app written from the ground up in React Native for iOS and Android, with in-app purchase support handled by a Node.js back-end interfacing with AWS DynamoDB
