LVL00 / Interface
I’m Code Cipher, a full-stack developer. I build from the pixel you tap to the query that answers it. This site is one long way down.
Move to steer. Click to send a pulse.Tap anywhere to send a pulse.
LVL01 / Identity
I am a full-stack software engineer who builds and runs production systems end to end: React and Next.js frontends, Go and Python services, and the AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure they run on. Right now that means delivering features across a secure, high-volume data platform, from the interface through the API to the distributed services, message queues and database migrations behind it.
I care about the work I do, and I care just as much about where it is going. Roman engineers were building bridges thousands of years ago. Software architecture is only sixty or seventy years old, and AI is already taking it into a whole new dimension. We are still in the early days of this craft, and I am excited to be part of what comes next.
What people see and touch.
LVL02 / Work
Pick a part of the page to see it, and what went into it.
A one-page website for an independent tyre workshop in Hull, built to get someone with a tyre problem on the phone quickly.
Someone with a flat tyre wants a phone number, not a homepage. Call and WhatsApp sit on the first screen, and the opening status is worked out in Hull time, wherever the visitor is.
LVL03 / Lab
Everything here is live and built by hand. Start by steering the tunnel behind this page.
These controls drive the WebGL tunnel behind the page.
The whole site is keyboard-driven. Jump layers, recolour the rain, or turn motion off.
A simulated trip down the stack and back, with the waterfall a real APM would draw.
Kinetic type. Same effect as the headline, on your words.
Small parts that have to feel right. They’re wired together, so try failing a save on a slow network.
LVL04 / Log
Writing and video on building things across the stack.
LVL05 / Bedrock
If you’ve got something worth building, let’s talk.
