Pivlu CMS - Owner and developer

About

I'm a software engineer focused on building fast, maintainable web applications and open-source tools. I love clean architecture, well-tested code, and shipping things people enjoy using. What I do: - Build full-stack web applications with PHP (Laravel) and modern front-end tools. - Design and develop CMS platforms, developer tools, and publish open-source libraries. - Mentor developers, review PRs, and maintain production-grade services. How I approach work: - Focus on user value first: ship small, iterate fast. - Keep code readable and well-tested. - Automate repetitive tasks (CI, deploy, tests). - Collaborate openly — documentation and clear PRs matter.

Pivlu: a new open source CMS and Website Builder

Pivlu was born from a simple frustration I kept running into while building and maintaining websites: I wanted the flexibility and freedom of a self hosted CMS, but without the bloat, fragility, and plugin roulette that too often comes with traditional solutions.

WordPress proved how powerful an ecosystem can be, but it also highlighted the tradeoffs performance overhead, security exposure through outdated extensions, and a developer experience that can feel inconsistent when you re trying to build modern applications.
