How this site runs.

For a developer portfolio this isn't an end in itself: the site itself is the work sample. Here's an honest account of what it's built and run with.

Stack

Laravel 13 (PHP 8.4)
Blade, Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, Vite
Filament (admin under /admin)
MySQL/MariaDB, Redis (Cache, Sessions, Queue)

Hosting

Own server at netcup, Nuremberg data center, Germany. No shared hosting, no black-box PaaS.

Analytics & Privacy

Exclusively Plausible, self-hosted, cookie-free, no tracking across sessions. No Google Analytics, no cookie banner.

Fonts

Fraunces & Inter, self-hosted (SIL Open Font License 1.1)

Deployment

Deployments via Deployer.

Monitoring

Self-hosted GlitchTip (Sentry-compatible) for error tracking — on my own infrastructure, no third-party transmission.

AI assistance

This website and my project work are created with the support of AI tools — from code to text drafts. Every line is reviewed, decided on and accounted for by me. The details are set out transparently in the terms (§ 3) and the privacy policy.

Security & Performance

Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and other security headers on every response
Server-side response caching for public pages
Automated test suite before every merge, CI pipeline staged
Automated, monitored backups

Curious for more?

I bring exactly this kind of operational reliability into client projects too.
