Headline: Full Stack Software Engineer. Next.js, Directus & self-hosted infrastructure. Clever Cactus 🌵

## About

I'm a software engineer with 15+ years of experience who genuinely enjoys the complexity of building things that go beyond a simple website. What I love to do is combine a headless CMS like Directus with a Next.js frontend, wired up to whatever the project actually needs on the backend.

At Clever Cactus I cultivate complex ideas. Planting seeds and watching them grow together. I love environments like Vercel and Railway to develop at the speed of light, but I also have a deep love for self-hosted setups using tools like Coolify. Knowing exactly where your data lives matters.

Got something complex you want to grow? Let’s talk.
