Canapisian Studios
Fabrication, service,
and software craft
Hands-on fabrication, disciplined execution, and the same rigor in code as on the shop floor.
From MIG welding and precision tooling to infantry training—and this site itself: a KVM VPS, nginx, ASP.NET & ADO.NET, and a Next.js frontend in production.
What powers this website
Aron Canapa focuses the portfolio on the real production path: a KVM VPS, nginx at the edge, ASP.NET and ADO.NET for server and data work, plus Next.js for the experience you see here.
KVM VPS
Linux VM on KVM-based hosting—dedicated resources, root access, and control over the full stack.
nginx
Reverse proxy, caching, and TLS termination in front of app and API processes.
ASP.NET
Server-side web workloads, APIs, and services in the .NET ecosystem.
ADO.NET
Data access layer—connections, commands, and readers against SQL-backed systems.
Next.js 15

React 19 & TypeScript
