Marchy / localghost.tech

I turn messy systems into useful software.

I'm a senior developer, systems thinker, and special education professional working publicly as Marchy. Through localghost.tech, I take on focused freelance work where software needs to become clearer, calmer, and easier for people to use.

what I do

Where I can help.

services:node/graphql

Backend and API work

I help teams ship and maintain the service layer: endpoints, integrations, data flow, and the unglamorous details that keep products working.

  • Node.js
  • NestJS
  • Apollo/GraphQL
  • REST
  • service cleanup

services:product

Full-stack product help

I can move between interface, API, data, and deployment when a small team needs one person to own a useful slice of the product.

  • React
  • Next.js
  • legacy modernization
  • e-commerce
  • handoff docs

services:data

Data and reporting cleanup

I turn scattered operational data into reports, dashboards, and workflows people can trust enough to make decisions.

  • SQL
  • Excel/VBA
  • ticketing reports
  • KPI definition
  • progress monitoring

services:automation

Internal tools and automation

I build small tools that remove repeated manual work, make support easier, and leave the next person with documentation they can use.

  • diagnostics
  • bulk updates
  • CRM workflows
  • MDM/ticketing rollout
  • documentation

services:creative

Creative technical builds

I build concrete oddities: Twitch overlays and chat tools, installation controllers, playful interfaces, local-device experiments, and education-adjacent prototypes.

  • Twitch integrations
  • art installations
  • interactive prototypes
  • local models
  • artful UI

services:inclusive

Accessibility-minded systems

My education work changes how I build: I pay attention to cognitive load, routines, supports, and whether the interface respects the person using it.

  • BA Special Education
  • IEP workflows
  • assistive tech
  • SEL
  • structured environments

where I've worked

My path has always sat close to the real-world mess.

High-volume guest operations

Learning systems where the line is already moving

I supported admission control, passes, venue ticketing, SQL reporting, diagnostics, and internal tooling in environments where a vague answer was not useful for long.

  • support tooling
  • access systems
  • ticketing systems
  • SQL reporting
Commerce modernization

Making legacy commerce easier to move

I worked on web-store products and modernization research, bridging older systems with React-based product work while keeping client details private.

  • React
  • .NET
  • e-commerce
  • legacy modernization
Distributed operations

Turning support work into shared systems

I led internal product development, CRM workflows, help desk tooling, and MDM rollout for a distributed workforce that needed practical support, not theoretical process.

  • CRM
  • MDM
  • internal tools
  • IT operations
Service platforms

Shipping inside a real service architecture

I shipped production features in a logistics-style service platform built around Node.js microservices, NestJS, Apollo GraphQL, React front ends, and custom Webpack configuration.

  • Node.js
  • NestJS
  • GraphQL
  • microservices

marchy@localghost ~/work-style

What I try to make true on every project.

  • I start by finding the smallest version that would be genuinely useful.
  • I write things down because good documentation is part of the work.
  • I build for the handoff, not just the demo.
  • I choose tools around the team and the problem, not the trend cycle.
  • I treat accessibility, cognitive load, and real routines as engineering constraints.

available now

Bring me a useful problem, a messy system, or a weird prototype.

I'll add a scheduling link later. For now, email is the best way to tell me what you are trying to build, fix, understand, or test.
