Welcome to Franklin's Lab, a dedicated experimentation space where I will explore and test various technologies across Web3, Backend Development, DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, and Automation.
⚡ This repository is a Work in Progress (WIP) — I will continuously add new projects, refine experiments, and expand the scope of this lab. Stay tuned for more updates as I document my journey in modern software engineering.
This repository will serve as a playground for cutting-edge technologies, allowing me to prototype, refine, and push the boundaries of software development, cloud infrastructure, and blockchain solutions.
This lab will cover a wide range of technologies across multiple disciplines, including blockchain, backend development, cloud computing, DevOps, automation, and security. Over time, I will expand the repository to include deeper experiments and case studies in these areas.
