no-tone — a desktop of tools, experiments and marks in the making
no-tone is the workshop of a software engineer — a place to build tools, ship experiments and leave a mark. Application engineer — full-stack, security-minded, happiest shipping tools at the edge. Currently building digital products while pursuing an MSc in software engineering.
Everything here is a window; the globe is the map of what I’ve made — drag it, click a node. Security-minded by default: content, headers and origins are locked down at the edge with a CSP-enforced middleware layer.
What I'm best at
- Full-stack product engineering — React / Next.js front-ends to typed APIs and databases — end to end.
- Web components & design systems — Reusable, framework-agnostic UI primitives with real accessibility.
- Security & privacy — CSP, edge middleware, dependency hygiene — secure by default.
- Applied AI / NLP — Chat, voice and generative features wired into real products.
- UI / UX craft — Interaction detail, motion and typography that feels considered.
