Orion C. Riker.

Full Stack Developer

I {develop} software. I (automate) server infrastructure. I [architect] global governance. My directive is engineering better systems for the Human race.

About Me

I'm a 17-year-old Full Stack Developer. Federationist. Designer. Maker. Based in Bengaluru with 7 years of experience. I build Websites, APIs, Android apps, .NET software, AI products, and whatever else needs building. I design in Figma and implement what I design. Game development is also something I do: I work across Unity, Unreal, and Godot, mostly all personal projects. I also work with electronics, soldering, circuit design, and connecting sensors directly to mains AC and integrate them into Home Assistant. And 3D printing: mostly functional parts I've designed to make daily life easier.

I also run a homelab: Proxmox hosting TrueNAS across 16TB of total storage with ZFS RAIDZ2. Some of the services it runs are: Immich, Bitwarden, GitLab, Grafana, Pi-hole, Technitium DNS. And I use Tailscale so I can reach everything remotely.

I study governance, track current affairs, and think about rights and law. I'm a citizen of Earth before anything else. From that vantage point: the nation-state system was never built for the problems we face today. I am building a replacement: the United Federation of Earth, a world government to eventually replace nation-states. It has a quadricameral (four-chamber) legislature, branches that can check and remove each other, anti-corruption written into the architecture rather than bolted on as an afterthought, and things most governments still treat as negotiable: same and equal rights for every human on Earth, free healthcare, free public transport all guaranteed in the constitution itself.

I use Arch Linux as my OS. Everything I rely on is open source. Also love to play video games, they are what got me into the rabbit hole of coding: Counter-Strike, Minecraft, Hytale are some which I play or played.

This portfolio website runs on a 2-node Kubernetes cluster with Caddy as the reverse proxy, deployed using FluxCD and custom CI/CD scripts. I'm a strong advocate for DevOps practices.
