LegalStampy (2026-Current)
I'm the founder & CEO of LegalStampy,
a document timestamping service built predominantly for legal professionals.
This is a private cloud document storage service that allows you to stamp files onto the Bitcoin blockchain
using the
OpenTimestamps standard.
This allows anyone to prove that a document existed in a specific state at that moment in time (the time of
the stamping).
That can be verified independently using the Bitcoin blockchain, and the document itself remains private as
only the document's fingerprint is stamped to the chain.
This proof can be used in courts and can be verified by the general public, if
necessary.
The service includes secure document storage, file organization, and file sharing features.
- Timestamp proofs anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain
- Privacy by design: Only the document's cryptographic hash is recorded publically, never the document
- Free, Personal, and Team plans available
- Stack: Python3, Flask, PostgreSQL, Stripe, OpenTimestamps
Portfolio Website (2018-Current)
I built this portfolio website utilizing the
Flask Web Framework,
Pure CSS Library.
I used to maintain and run this website on a DigitalOcean VPS running Ubuntu Server 20.04.
I recently deployed this website on DigitalOcean's Apps Platform.
The website uses lightweight vanilla JavaScript with the native Fetch API for making HTTP requests.
On the homepage, I use this to consume DuckDuckGo's API to pull definitions for each of the skill
buttons. Feel free to try it out!
The first version of this website used Twitter Bootstrap; however, I found that using Pure CSS framework with the
inclusion of custom CSS/JS to be much lighter weight while achieving the same goal.
Some other features that I implemented (on the VPS deployment)
- Brotli HTTP compression enabled, gzip enabled as a fallback
- Minified CSS and JS
- Improved SEO - Optimized for mobile, relevant descriptions and title tags set, uses heading tags, preferred domain set, sitemap linked to Google and Bing Webmaster tools, forces HTTPS, canonicalized IP address, and page sizes kept small.
- Redirect - redirects users to my portfolio site from some old school projects that were already indexed by Google.
- Supports SSL/HTTPS
- Supports HTTP2
- Supports IPv6 and IPv4
