Who or what is PHPWolf?
I'm a full-stack developer who likes to build things; big and small. I started PHP development as a teenager in the early 2000s, and it has become both a career and a long-lived, creative passion.
This site is where I publish what I'm working on, what I've learned, and the tools I'm shaping along the way.
What I'm Building
Most of my work lives inside a small ecosystem of projects that reinforce each other.
PHPWolf: the home base: notes, experiments, releases, and writing.
DenCMS: a multi-site CMS foundation for real-world content and workflows.
Wolf MOI: maintenance/ops metrics and "What's actually happening?" instrumentation.
Gravemoon: creative work, game design, and systems thinking in a different medium or realm.
Some of these are public, some are in-progress, and some stay private until ready.
How I work
Work starts with a certain sense of calm clarity. Let the mind expand. Planing, structure, and purpose follow naturally.
Proper structure reduces entropy long-term... That's a guiding principle for keeping maintenance easy.
What you'll find here
Short updates on what I'm building and why.
Notes on architecture, tooling, and workflow decisions.
Write-ups that bridge code + philosophy without getting too abstract.
Occasional experiments, artifacts, and "this worked/this didn't" lessons.
Collaboration
I take on limited work when it's a good fit.
