I'mIsabelle.

I run and build for 4 companies and ship open-source infrastructure that communities actually depend on — moderation systems, chat platforms, and the boring plumbing that keeps them online.

About

Who's actually behind this.

Currently

I'm Isabelle — also known as Select — a 20-year-old full-stack developer who ended up running 4 companies before I finished growing up. I love building open-source projects that solve real problems across our Universe, and I've helped smaller teams find their footing along the way — from my own company, Purrquinox, to friends like Nodebyte. Everything I ship starts as a problem I actually have, or one I've watched someone else wrestle with — then I do my best to make every part of it feel intuitive.

Right now

Rebuilding this site from scratch, learning Rust, contemplating life, and awaiting GTA 6.

Pattern-First Mind

Autism is the reason I notice patterns most people scroll past. I try my best to create a design and function that works for all worlds and creative minds.

Systems Thinker

When I build new services inside Purrquinox, I design for the whole ecosystem rather than a single feature — so everything works together in one intuitive, effortless flow.

Open Source by Default

If it's useful to me, it's probably useful to someone running a server at 2am too. Most of what I build ships in the open.

Restless Experimenter

I'd rather ship a rough version and learn from real users than polish something no one's touched yet.

I highly recommend Isabelle, whose skills and dedication were crucial to our project's success. As a full stack developer, her expertise in both front-end and back-end development consistently delivered high-quality solutions. Isabelle's problem-solving ability, proficiency in various programming languages, and exceptional collaboration skills ensured thorough execution and innovation. Her clear communication and strategic mindset were invaluable. I am confident in her continued success in future projects.

Isabelle is a kind of a person you'll love to interact and working with. She always amazes me with her approach of system design and UI/UX. Isabelle doesn't just lead projects—they elevate them. I'm proud to have contributed to a vision that blends functionality with bold aesthetics, and I'd gladly collaborate again in the future.
