NickaelDeveloper & Product Builder

Developer & Product Builder · Brazil · working remotely

I take ideas all the way to production.

Product decisions, the interface people use, and the infrastructure that keeps it running — I work across all three. This site is served from a machine I operate myself.

Each product lives on its own subdomain.

Platform & hub

Live

nickael.com

A personal hub, and the self-hosted platform underneath it where every product I build gets its own subdomain.

Every project I started ended up on a different host with a different deploy. I wanted one address, and a foundation where adding the next product is a deploy rather than another server to buy.

  • Filling out the hub: the platform is running, and the next products are what it was built for.

Writing

Build logs and the decisions behind them.

  • Two Appwrite instances on one VPS

    Running two complete, independent Appwrite 2.0 installs on a single machine behind one external Traefik — and the Docker hostname collision that took a nine-layer teardown to find.

About

I have been a front-end developer since 2019, most of it remote, building production interfaces in React, Vue and Nuxt for teams in Brazil and the United States. That is still the centre of what I do well.

This domain is the front door. Each product I build gets its own subdomain underneath it, on the same infrastructure — so the hub grows by adding rather than rebuilding.
