Hi HN,

I’m working on OurCodeLab, a Singapore-based startup. After 11+ years in DevSecOps, I noticed a lot of local SMEs are either overpaying for simple sites or using insecure, bloated templates.

I’m trying to solve this by building high-quality, lightweight landing pages at the most affordable rate possible. Right now, I’m running a promotion: we’ll build your landing page (up to 2 pages) for free if we handle your domain hosting.

I craft each site individually to ensure they meet modern web and cyber standards—no copy-paste layouts. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the model or any feedback on the tech stack.

If you're an SME or know one that needs a hand, reach out at farath@ourcodelab.com for a non-obligatory chat.

Since blacksmith labs and phoenix ai - the ai assisted automotive r&d, security and compliance engineering tool has been on the backburner for a while, I've been helping a couple of blockchain projects and built some tools, besides tinkering with my real-time EVM contract and transaction heuristics and classification engine.

- ETH Watchtower: a real-time EVM monitoring tool with heuristics and classification of contracts and transactions: https://ethwatchtower.xyz

- P2P SSL VPN provider/consumer tools using a blockchain as announcement and settlement layer: https://github.com/rnts08/blockchain-vpn

- OrdexNetwork: https://ordexnetwork.org, I've built https://ordexswap.online and https://ordexswap.online/wallet/ as well as an Umbrel variant of a self-hosted wallet.

- Waya Wolf Coin v3: Helped the team to compile binaries for linux, and modernizing the libraries: https://github.com/rnts08/WWC3-Linux-binaries / https://github.com/Waya-Wolf/WWC3

- Low Cap Exchange algorithmic trading bots with machine learning and automatic ghost trading, because I wanted to see what the most common shapes are on smaller exchanges: https://github.com/rnts08/low-cap-exchange-trading-bot

However, I am really looking for Sr. DevOps/Platform Eng/SRE/System/Network Admin/Infra Engineering or similar, full-time or contract work, see https://timhbergstrom.pro for contact details.

I am building the perma-lib on the topic of ethics and sustainable practices: Ꭰ-Library

Pronounce A-Library "The Unicode character for the Cherokee letter 'A' (Ꭰ) is U+13A0"

Launching a kick-starter for it in the coming weeks. Hoping to make a difference for the next few generations for a better world and education.

Worked on some features at open reader, a local-first PDF TTS reader that highlights the words spoken and uses the excellent local kokoro tts engine.

Got fed up with web tech, it's so slow and clunky, so made my own version in python and qt. I changed the design to be based on a doclayout llm, so you can skip or include things like tables and references easily.

It now works so beautifully fast, it's code is readable and simple, no apis or multiple services. Just a qt app, some local llms that can run on a decent cpu and word-leven highlighting and playback selection.

I can listen to papers now!
