Hi, I'm TimorousShadow,
I build software for online communities
I'm 20 and I write software for online communities: a moderation bot and staff dashboard for a Discord server, a trading card game, a creator portal and Roblox code. I also run the Proxmox host all of it lives on, this page included.

About me
Most of what I build starts as a problem a Discord server actually has: moderation that doesn't scale, a game people want to play together, a program that needs a portal. It turns into something I ship, then keep running and improving once real people depend on it.
Servers I run
Everything lives on one Proxmox host I administer: around fifteen VMs and containers behind nginx, with Let's Encrypt certificates, ZFS storage and a pfSense firewall. This page is served from it too.
Day to day I move between TypeScript, Lua, Go and SQL, and between Next.js, Astro, Node and Docker.
Bonjour !
I'm from Paris and I still live in Île-de-France. Most of what I build is for people online, but the servers it runs on sit a few kilometres from here.
