Patrick Dev Site

A personal full-stack site for projects, notes, self-hosting experiments and the small pieces of infrastructure that make them reachable. It is deliberately not a company site, but a practical place to keep technical work visible and understandable.

Project story

Why this project exists

Notes on the idea, the origin and what became visible while building it.

01

Project idea

The idea was to turn a private domain and a few self-hosted services into a maintainable public workbench.

02

Why it started

The domain came first. The site followed when the surrounding services, project notes and deployment setup needed a clearer home.

03

What was surprising

The small site quickly became an architecture exercise: SSR, API routing, uploads, admin flows, backups, tests and translations all had to fit together without turning into a generic CMS.

04

Current state

The site is live, managed content and translations are database-backed, and the deployment path is documented and test-covered.
