From Passion Projects to Professional Tools: My Next Step 🚀

I have some big news to share. For a while now, I’ve been building tools and sharing them on GitHub. It’s been an incredible journey, and the best part is seeing them used in the real world—like when I found out my Bluelight app was being used in San Francisco. That was the moment I realized this was more than just a hobby. It's why I do what I do.
Now, I'm ready to take the next step. I've decided to make some of my most impactful projects private and offer them as professional-grade tools to fund their continued development and ensure a high level of support. I'm excited to officially launch two of my key projects.
Introducing ShieldFortress: Security for Developers 🛡️
Tired of bloated, privacy-invasive antivirus software? I was, too. That's why I built ShieldFortress, a transparent, lightweight security tool designed by a developer for developers.
ShieldFortress is not your average antivirus. It combines heuristic and signature-based scanning to catch both known and unknown threats. With a simple integration of your own VirusTotal API key, it gives you a second opinion on any file from over 70 different security engines. It runs efficiently in the background without slowing you down, giving you full control and visibility over your system's security.
This tool is for anyone who values performance, transparency, and a no-nonsense approach to cybersecurity.
The Complete Toolkit: A Professional Bundle đź’Ľ
For those who want to supercharge their digital workflow, I’ve created the Security and Financial Toolkit. This bundle brings together three of my premium applications at a discounted price, giving you a complete suite of tools for both security and productivity.
ShieldFortress ($10 value): Your first and last line of defense against modern threats.
Network Reconnaissance Tool ($5 value): A streamlined utility for network discovery and port scanning.
Bluelight Financial Report Generator ($5 value): A lightweight desktop application for quick financial analysis and reporting.
By bundling these tools, I want to offer a complete solution that saves you money and provides all the essential utilities for the modern professional. Your purchase directly supports the development of ad-free, private, and reliable software.
This is the start of a new chapter for me, and I'm thrilled to be able to deliver these projects to you. Check out the toolkit and support the mission.
