I build experiences you can feel.

alvadev is the one-person studio of Marcus — fast, hand-crafted software with personality. No framework bloat, no template feel. Just clean code that ships in seconds.

01 — What I build

Useful things, built beautifully

From a landing page that loads before you blink to a bot that quietly does your busywork — small, sharp software is the specialty.

Websites & Frontends

Marketing sites, portfolios, landing pages — pixel-precise, fast as static files, and alive with motion exactly where it counts.

Semantic HTMLModern CSSMotion

Web Apps & Tools

Dashboards, internal tools, little products. Clean data flows, sensible state, interfaces people actually enjoy using.

APIsAuthData

Automation

Glue code that quietly does the boring work: webhooks, bots, scheduled jobs and integrations between the tools you already use.

WebhooksBotsCron

AI Integration

LLMs where they genuinely help — assistants, content pipelines, smart search. Engineered into the product, not bolted on.

02 — Process

From idea to live, without drama

  1. Listen

    A short call: what should exist that doesn't yet? We nail the goal before anyone touches code.

  2. Shape

    Concept, wireframe, tech choices, honest estimate. Small scope, sharp edges.

  3. Build

    Short cycles with live previews from day one — you watch it grow instead of waiting for a big reveal.

  4. Ship & care

    Deployed at the edge, monitored, refined. Good software is never done — it keeps getting better.

03 — Toolbox

Boring where it should be, exciting where it can be

Proven web fundamentals first, clever tricks second. This is what gets used and enjoyed:

from git push to live

Everything here is hand-rolled in vanilla JS: the aurora is a WebGL shader, the headline scrambles itself, the editor types itself, and ⌘K opens a command palette. Open DevTools and poke around — view-source is the documentation.

Let's make it real.

Tell me what you want to build — I'll tell you how, and how fast it can be live.
