I'm passionate about free speech, FOSS, and the open web, which to me have always gone hand-in-hand. For several years I've invested thousands of hours into building various free WordPress plugins used by organizations like United Nations, Emirates Airlines, and Flipkart, with a focus on simplicity.

However, I found that relying on too many plugins can add bloat to your WordPress stack, and can become time consuming to maintain.

Now, I'm focused on promoting SlickStack, a free stack script for LEMP servers that empowers small teams with market-leading speed, security, and technical SEO, while giving web hosting monopolies a run for their money. I've also recently begun developing HoverCraft, a free WordPress theme that compliments the simplicity and stability of SlickStack.

The combination of SlickStack and HoverCraft can achieve incredibly lightweight and reliable WordPress servers that barely need any maintenance. For example, you can put your small business clients on this stack, and they will benefit from several years of worry-free (and dirt cheap) performance.

I believe the future of web development must promote decentralization and oppose censorship; I also believe that independent web developers are modern-day diplomats, who must support each other and safeguard the open web, and promote good faith B2B transactions, for future generations to thrive.

If this sounds worthwhile, consider sponsoring my work. My values are not very profitable, but the work is rewarding. Thank you!
