I built this site because every portfolio template I found felt like a lie.
Clean grids, stock photos of people pointing at whiteboards, “passionate about creating impactful solutions STONKS!” — none of it felt like me. So I did what any reasonable person does when they’re mildly annoyed: I spent way more time than necessary building something from scratch.
Web development is my hobby. And hobbies should be weird.
Because I find it genuinely funny. Both the contents, the looks, ASCII, everything.
I am not a designer. I am not a frontend developer. My actual job is building things in Microsoft Power Platform — which, if you don’t know what that is, means I spend most of my days making enterprise software feel slightly less painful using a tool that mostly lets you drag and drop things. It is an entirely different discipline from web development, and I am kinda good at it.
WTF is Power Platform? You keep mentioning that you are a developer, but not in ‘code’ but in ’low-code’ and Power Platform and Microsoft
Fair question.
Every company, at some point, needs roughly the same things: a way to collect and display information, a way to automate repetitive tasks, a way to report on what’s happening, and ideally all of it looking like it belongs together and requires a login to use. Traditionally, you’d hire a team of developers, wait six months, and get something that half the company refuses to use because it’s confusing.
Power Platform is Microsoft’s answer to that problem. It is a suite of tools that sit on top of your existing Microsoft 365 and Azure infrastructure — meaning the data, users, and permissions you already have. Do you get paid as a Power Platform developer the same as a full-stack developer? NOPE. And we should not in my honest opinion.
So no auth implementation? No sql queries?
yeap! It uses Auth from Azure.
So no File Management and FTP servers?
Nope, you use SharePoint for that.
No app registrations? What is the actor doing all those things
You use conenction references, but you can also do app registrations, delegated permissions etc and service accounts.
The whole thing runs inside your Microsoft tenant. No new infrastructure. No negotiating with IT about hosting. Permissions are inherited from Azure Active Directory. A junior developer — or sometimes a very capable non-developer — can build something genuinely useful in a week that would have taken a backend team three months. Those are ways of saving a lot of time and money. How does it stand against AI? We will see. The garden back at my balkan village is waiting for me to plant tomatoes.
Thereby, unfortunatelly, I can not build you something in PowerApps that is remotely even touched by internet like a website or something. Got Microsoft 365? I can help you.
Can you help me disrupt the ecosystem, 10x my paradigm, or redefine the future of stonks?
Nope!
That is what I do. Not for trivial things, but for systems that handle contracts, HR approvals, facility management, financial reporting, and integrations with SAP, ServiceNow, DocuSign, and ERPs. The “low-code” label makes it sound like a toy. It is not.
So instead of picking a template, I picked Raster — a CSS grid system so minimal it barely qualifies as a framework — and built everything on top of it. One HTML file. One CSS file. No npm. No build tool. No node_modules folder large enough to collapse a star.
I mean look at how the dude - Rasmus - has set up Raster so no flex-boxes and stuff. That s**t broke me a few years ago and dropped out of chasing a front-end carrer.
There is ASCII art of my cat at the bottom of the homepage.
She is a Tabby cat (that gray and black-ish and dark gray pattern). She did not contribute to this project in any meaningful way. The caption reads “I could most definitely have done it without her.” This is true. She mostly sat on my lap, making me uncomfortable and probably judged me.
I added the ASCII art because I think it is deeply, wonderfully dorky. The internet used to be full of this kind of thing before everyone decided everything needed to look like a Figma prototype. I miss that. This is my small protest.
I also added a kinda ASCII picture of myself, beacuse I wanted to make it personal, but don’t feel comfortable sharing an image of me online. I know with all that information and images online on socials? At least I try my best. Bots are crawling all over, especially on websites - more effective on static pages like mine.
I have a Bluesky, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter. I rarely post in all those.
The problem with social media is that it flattens everything. A thought that took me three weeks to form gets the same real estate as someone’s lunch photo.
Who cares?
I wanted somewhere I could write longer, think slower, and not have an algorithm decide whether it was worth showing to anyone. Even if noone ever reads it. Also, I do not want to build an audience. I want to write things down. There is a difference.
This site has no npm dependencies. No JavaScript frameworks. No third-party scripts. The fonts come from Bunny Fonts — a GDPR-friendly alternative to Google Fonts that does not phone home to Mountain View every time someone loads a page.
This is not because I am paranoid (I am a little paranoid). I mean aren’t shose sufficient?
Plain HTML and CSS do not have supply chain attacks - hopefully. They also do not have breaking changes.
This is the hello-world post. More to come — probably about Power Platform, probably about building things that make people laugh, e-ink projects like TRMNL , Xteink X4, or TRMNL with Xteink X4; definitely not about optimizing conversion funnels and disrupting the ecosystem one blockchain web3/AWS/React Native at a time.
