Rebuilding From Scratch Live

New architecture. New visuals. New everything. Currently mid-overhaul — some pages are still being wired up and a few rough edges are expected. It's progress, not chaos. (Okay, a little chaos.)

// What I Believe

"Code isn't a job to clock out of. It's the closest thing we have to building worlds from scratch."

— Korak Kurani

// Capabilities

Full-stack,
end-to-end,
zero handoffs.

I design, build, and ship the full vertical slice — pixels, APIs, and the 3am logs when prod sneezes. My stack isn't resume-driven development; it's what I've shipped, triaged, and patched while real traffic did chaos engineering for free — the kind of proof Grafana graphs and angry JSON don't let you fake.

TOOL FRONTEND

Qrgen

“A fast, privacy-first QR studio—premium styling and logo embedding without paywalls, watermarks, or noise.”

I built QRGen after hitting the same wall everyone hits: paywalls for clean exports, watermarks on "free" downloads, ads cluttering simple tasks, and tools that quietly ship your URL to a server. It is an open, browser-based generator for people who want real customization—gradients, eye shapes, dot styles, centered logos—with a calm, modern UI. Generation stays client-side, so what you type is not sent off to a backend to be turned into a code.

The Three-Layer Fortress: Building a Private Cloud with Coolify, Directus, and Cloudflare

Stop punching holes in your firewall and exposing your home IP to the world. In 2026, building a private cloud is no longer about managing complex VPNs or risky port forwarding; it’s about creating an invisible, outbound-only bridge to the internet. By combining Coolify for orchestration, Directus for data management, and Cloudflare Tunnels for Zero Trust connectivity, you can build a three-layer fortress that is accessible from any browser but completely hidden from scanners. This is the definitive guide to professional-grade self-hosting on your own hardware—no open ports required.

The Architectural Pivot: Why I Ditched Cloud Music for Local-First Audio

If your lighting doesn't depend on a monthly subscription, why should your music? After struggling with the "Cookie Nightmares" of YouTube Music and the "Subscription Tax" of Spotify, I realized that cloud audio is a fundamental failure point in the smart home. I pivoted to a Local-First architecture—storing high-quality files on my server's SSD and using Music Assistant to orchestrate a multi-room experience. No cloud, no lag, and zero recurring costs. Here is how I turned my music from a rented service into solid infrastructure.
