Portfolio

1. Introduction

This website serves as the personal portfolio for Karwan Stark.

I'm a Full-Stack developer born and raised in Sweden. My main background of programming is in .NET as well as Javascript but I'm well adept to apply myself to any language and any frontend framework from Next js all the way to Astro and any backend architecture from monolithic applications to microservices, serverless architectures, and event-driven systems. I have a passion for building scalable, maintainable solutions and staying current with emerging technologies.

2. About Me

I am deeply passionate about automation and AI-driven technology, constantly exploring ways to push the boundaries of what's possible in software development. My expertise in .NET and JavaScript forms the foundation of my work in creating intelligent, automated solutions that streamline processes and enhance user experiences from the core of projects all the way to nuget packages and npm packages.

Throughout my working life, I've focused on developing systems and websites to solve issues that I believe could be solved in better manners. The primary issue with this approach is that I'm very willing to solve things but only so long as I'm not part of creating bloutware that ends up making things more complex than it really has to be.

Born and raised in Sweden, I'm fluent in both Swedish and English, which has enabled me to work effectively in international teams. When not working at my current work place [Columbus Global], I channel my creativity into various side projects, including the development of custom URI extensions like the Teapot Protocol, which aims to enhance web service capabilities through intelligent routing and automated negotiation mechanisms.

3. Projects

• Mullhat.net (ongoing) #1 – Mullhat was meant to be a website that teaches about general tech security. As of right now it's one of my older projects and has a new goal of being a simple and secure note-taking app. (NeonDB + Svelte)
• Teapotprotocol.com (ongoing) #2 – The Teapotprotocol is the current ongoing project that I have, meant to extend the current http/https URI's to be more dynamic and to allow for a great yield of control regarding once own domain. Current works are being made for a browser that allows the protocol to work. (Expo, Cloudflare Workers)
• Constituency.eu (ongoing => test.constituency.eu) #3 – Constituency is meant to be an active place to allow users of the EU to browse around the EU's great database as well as reading articles made by the Constituency. (Sanity, Next)
