I turn ideas into usable solutions.

Digital projects, SEO and content, e-commerce, data, process improvement and practical technical execution — from idea to a testable result.

About me

More than technology — understanding the problem and taking the work through to a result.

My strength is the combination of technical thinking, writing, information structuring, data work and communication. In many projects I work end-to-end — from the idea, content and digital environment to client communication, execution, post-processing and documentation.

I work both independently and as part of a team. I learn continuously, test, analyse mistakes and build the next iteration. I can break work into stages, set priorities and align the solution so the final result meets the real need — not just the original idea.

Story / press

More about the person behind CraftIN.

The portfolio shows the results. The Staburags interview reveals how they come together — continuous learning, versatility, turning client ideas into reality, and taking responsibility for the process from the first thought to the finished work.

“While others spend their energy complaining about life, I choose to learn, do and move forward.”

Two real Windows defects were identified and fixed in VibeAudio. Both PRs were maintainer-reviewed and merged, the full suite reached 52/52, and the fixes shipped in v0.8.1 with QvarcY credited in the release notes.

Skills and work style

Summary in four competency areas.

I do not want to reduce my portfolio to “web + 3D + laser”. Technical skills are only one part of the work — content, data, communication and ownership of the result matter just as much.

Digital products and e-commerce

Web systems, PrestaShop, WordPress, user flows, administration, automation, technical SEO and digital product structuring.
