AstronautMarkusDev 2.5 Update
The whole site just got a fresh coat of beige paint. Changelog below, for the record:
  • SECURITY Eradicated the last pixel of Windows 98 blue. Contained. Incinerated.
  • NEW The six-color rainbow stripe, back on duty on every title bar.
  • REMOVED Every soft, blurry drop-shadow on the site. This is a flat-shadow household now.
  • IMPROVED 404 pages now ship with an actual bomb icon. Very on-brand for "catastrophic failure."
  • FIXED A border-image bug quietly repainting sidebar accents into "confused rainbow" instead of "on purpose rainbow."
  • NEW Buttons that look like they might eject a floppy disk if you click them wrong.
Featured Project PAYDAY BANK

I built PAYDAY BANK, a fictional bank, as an end-to-end showcase of my web development and security skills. A COBOL subprocess simulates the original banking core, while a modern web layer handles accounts, transactions, and authentication on top of it. The result blends legacy technology with current tooling, with a focus on security and efficiency.

Python Flask COBOL PostgreSQL Security
