I am a software developer based in Famagusta, Cyprus. At the moment, I am building Peaklingo, a language app for advanced learners. My main languages are Rust, TypeScript and Python.

Built a lightweight blog server in Rust over the past few weekends. The page templates are specified in a custom DSL inspired by styled-components which is parsed with nom:
component Favicon {
style {
all: unset;
}
{if page == "main"}
<FaviconImage />
{else}
<a style="cursor: pointer" href="/">
<FaviconImage />
</a>
{end}
}All code changes are published with Woodpecker CI to a local Docker Registry instance. The templates, articles and posts are stored on Hetzner S3 as a tar.gz archive, and loaded into memory on startup. Internal endpoints reload the archives and make new content or style changes available without downtime.
