Who is 0xAquaWolf?

8+ Years of Experience: Full-Stack Software engineer with a passion for UI/UX Design

About Me

What's Up Everyone, I'm AquaWolf from Miami, FL

So, my story's kinda wild. Started my coding journey back in 2016 with PHP - my first love, building simple websites and learning the magic of server-side programming.

But then I got caught up in the JavaScript hype train. React, TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js - the whole modern ecosystem. Dove deep into design too - mastering Figma, UI/UX principles, and creating pixel-perfect interfaces.

I became truly full-stack - designing in Figma, developing with the latest frameworks, and deploying on Linux machines. DevOps, design systems, the works. Followed that wave straight into the crypto craze of October 2021.

Helped launch some really big NFT projects - DAW, TheLostKingdom & SuperFuzz. My code generated over 28m+ and I achieved massive personal success...

But fuck, burnout hit me like a big 18 wheeler truck.

I was lost, ship wrecked, stranded at sea with no boat.

So I decided to shake things up. Went on a spiritual vision quest, traveling the world for 2 years, searching for meaning and healing from the chaos.

Deep dive into consciousness, healing, and rediscovering what truly mattered. I was so broken I honestly didn't even want to code anymore, but eventually I found my way back to myself.

And here's the beautiful part - I came full circle back to PHP. WordPress, Laravel, the whole ecosystem that started it all.

But now? Now I truly understand how everything connects. Design to deployment, frontend to backend, the entire stack. After my journey through JavaScript land and beyond, I can take an idea from Figma mockup to production server - I've finally mastered this craft.

So, now I'm back in the mix, wearing a bunch of hats:

  • Full-Stack PHP Developer (WordPress & Laravel)
  • UI/UX Designer & Figma Expert
  • DevOps Engineer (Linux & Cloud Deployment)
  • Live Stream Coding (Building in Public)
  • AI Tinkerer & Creative Problem Solver

My mission is to bridge the gap between design and development, creating end-to-end solutions from concept to deployment. I believe in building experiences that are not just technically robust but also beautifully designed and meaningfully crafted.

Always open to connecting with fellow builders, designers, and curious minds. Whether it's discussing design systems, PHP frameworks, DevOps workflows, or exploring new technological frontiers, I'm here for it.

Let's build the future together.

Wholeness & Balanced Vibrations 🙏
