Syntropy
Professional web infrastructure designed and deployed end-to-end — backend, frontend, DevOps, security and SEO — as a cohesive system where every technical decision serves a real production criterion.

Results and Achievements
Production system with 104+ tests, automated CI/CD pipeline, daily backups with 14-day retention, full bilingual SEO (hreflang, OG, sitemap) and custom analytics with no third-party dependencies.
Syntropy exists because no template solves the problem of presenting work that crosses disciplines without flattening its complexity. It is a complete web system — not a theme on a CMS — built to manage heterogeneous technical content (code, blueprints, video, 3D models, documentation) under a bilingual architecture with granular control over what is shown and to whom.
The name is deliberate. Syntropy is the principle opposite to entropy: order emerging from complexity. That is both the project's thesis and the profile it presents.
Why build from scratch
A multidisciplinary portfolio has a structural problem: its content is not homogeneous. Code, CAD blueprints, audiovisual pieces and technical documents do not coexist well in templates designed for image galleries or blogs. Syntropy is built from scratch because the problem demands it — not as a technical indulgence.
Architecture
Django 4.2 LTS with seven modular applications (home, sections, projects, bio, contact, legal, core), PostgreSQL as database, Nginx as reverse proxy and Docker for multi-environment containerisation. The frontend uses Tailwind CSS with vanilla JavaScript — no SPA frameworks because the content is fundamentally static and performance should not be sacrificed for convention.
Infrastructure and operations
- Deployed on Hetzner VPS with a dev → GitHub → production workflow.
- CI/CD pipeline via GitHub Actions, automated daily PostgreSQL and media backups with 14-day retention, security hardening with iptables/DOCKER-USER, rate limiting, honeypot and anti-spam filtering.
- Transactional email via Brevo with full DNS authentication.
Access control and lead generation
Not all work can be public. Syntropy incorporates a per-project visibility system that allows marking content as private and offering an access request form. This turns the portfolio into an active professional filtering tool: whoever wants to see the technical details identifies themselves first.
