Drupal & Servers

The Drupal & Servers section covers practical insights, tutorials, and notes from over 15 years of experience working with Drupal and web infrastructure.

Alongside Drupal development, this includes hands-on work with server environments such as Ubuntu, Nginx, and tools like XTRF, as well as broader topics around deployment, configuration, and performance optimization. The focus is on real-world solutions, debugging, and maintaining production systems rather than theory.

More recently, there has been a shift toward “vibe coding” — rapidly building and iterating on tools with the help of AI. This approach has led to the development of several practical applications for financial markets, including options scanners and other data-driven utilities.
