Case studies
Each one is a full write-up of what the client needed, what I did and how it turned out. These are selected projects, not a complete list. Repeat work of the same kind is written up once rather than every time.
Production self-hosted n8n with tested disaster recovery
An n8n instance running in production on my own hardened VPS, with a restore I've tested end to end on a clean server.
Five years of phpBB work for one publisher
Six separate phpBB contracts with the same client between 2016 and 2021. It started with a single extension install and ended with a version upgrade that had to carry a whole set of modified extensions along with it.
Private self-hosted AI stack
A private AI setup on self-managed infrastructure. Local models by default, with a cloud API used only where local hardware isn't enough.
A sixteen-year-old phpBB 2 board brought up to the current version
A bulletin board that had been running phpBB 2.0.11 since around 2005, moved onto the current phpBB 3 release with its posts and user base intact.
A community forum kept current across seven updates
The same client hired me seven times between 2019 and 2024 to update one phpBB board and adjust it as their branding changed.
Four years of hosting work for a web agency
Forty-eight orders between 2021 and 2025 for one agency: certificate installs, moves between hosting accounts, server setup, and whatever else broke on the sites they host for their own customers.
