Hey, I'm Archie! This is my GitHub profile. There's not a huge amount of activity here because I usually develop my own projects on a Gitea instance that I host myself, but I've uploaded a bunch of projects I've worked on in the past here.

I've been using React, Next.js and Vite on the frontend, usually with Tailwind CSS. I've used Node.js and Go a lot for backend, and I'm always learning new things. I've been building projects with Deno, Ruby on Rails and Swift in the past couple of years. I have a lot of experience using Stripe for payment processing. I usually host projects on my own Linux server because I enjoy the experience of everything breaking periodically, but I use cloud services like Vercel sometimes. I generally use Postgres for database now (with Prisma for Node/Deno or pgx for Go), but I've used MongoDB a lot before.

• When I was younger, I used to spend most of my time developing a collection of projects under a brand I called Alles, which included a social site similar to Twitter, a search engine based on the Bing API, and various neat little utilities that integrated with your account, with hundreds of awesome people in the community. I was developing it very publicly and almost everything was open-source at the time.
• More recently, I've made a site for creating wikis for games or tv shows (similar to fandom.com) and a publishing site.
• Right now, I'm working on a few very cool projects, but I'm not such a public person nowadays, so you'll have to talk to me if you want to know about them :)

• I play piano, and compose music sometimes
• I cycle for an hour every day
• I enjoy reading obscure pages on Wikipedia
• I like maps

I don't really use platforms like Twitter anymore, but if you want to talk, send me an email: [email protected]
