Hey, I'm Silas 👋

Backend & Systems Developer · Digital Fabrication Engineer · he/him


👋 About Me

I build modular systems that bridge software engineering and digital fabrication.

Former chef turned full‑stack engineer. I build practical, self‑hosted systems with .NET Core, EF Core, and Docker, while also designing and producing physical products through CAD, engraving, and 3D printing.

My work spans both software engineering and digital fabrication — from APIs and microservices to NFC‑enabled containers, custom engravings, and modular product systems. I thrive on rapid prototyping, iterative design, and bridging digital workflows with real‑world hardware.


🧰 What I Do

  • 🛠️ Develop secure, modular backend services with ASP.NET Core, SQL Server, Entity Framework Core, and Docker
  • 🌐 Build Blazor frontends and self-hosted apps for real-world use (home lab deployments, internal tools)
  • 🤖 Integrate LLMs as microservices into private infrastructure using Docker + Ollama
  • ⚡ Automate workflows and optimize developer experience
  • 🔬 Explore systems internals with C++, Vulkan, and engine architecture
  • ⚙️ Design and fabricate physical products with Onshape, engraving workflows, and print farm systems
  • 🔧 Prototype custom hardware solutions (NFC containers, grinders, coasters, modular accessories)
  • 🚀 Partner with businesses to deliver branded fabrication solutions and external tech support

💡 Tech I Use

C# ASP.NET Core Blazor SQL Server Docker Unraid Ollama Unity Vulkan Python WinForms Git Perforce

🏢 Studio Work

noCTRL Studios – Independent tools & engine studio

  • ✅ Published Unity asset (Event replay tool for debugging workflows)
  • 🔧 Focus: Practical developer tools that improve iteration and reduce pain points

📬 Open to Work

  • 💼 Seeking Unity, C++, Vulkan, and engine architecture roles (Seattle area or remote)
  • 🖥️ Open to freelance backend/API contracts
  • 🎮 Unity tooling contracts (secondary focus, if aligned with studio needs)
