Q: How can I get in touch?

Telegram is the fastest way, @prodby026b. Email works too, at prodby026b@gmail.com, or use the contact form on the site.

From the server room up, I design and self-host complete systems — dashboards, a CMS, a hosting business — tied together under one terminal identity. No rented platforms. No black boxes. Just metal I control.

01 Identity

The short version
of who is behind
the terminal.

Not a résumé. A field manual. The principles that decide what gets built, hosted, and shipped under this handle.

I go by prodby026b across every project I ship. I'm not chasing a single app — I'm building a personal ecosystem of self-hosted tools, one service at a time, bound by a single hacker-terminal identity.

The foundation is Linux administration and networking — an LPIC-1 and a CCNA / Network+ under the belt. That substrate is the layer every dashboard, every CMS, every hosting box gets poured on top of.

"I lean on AI tooling to move faster across full-stack builds — but the architecture, the aesthetic, and the decisions are mine." — operating principle #00

That distinction matters. Speed without authorship is just autocomplete. The systems I run look the way they look, scale the way they scale, and stay online the way they stay online because the calls were made by a person who also has to wake up at 3 a.m. when a service blinks red. Ownership is the feature. Everything else is decoration.

02 Ecosystem

Three services,
one identity.

Every project shares the same dark, HUD-driven aesthetic and ships as a deployable package — not a screenshot.
