Alex Wang
Politics. Web development. And everything in between.
Hi, I’m Alex, aka Unixfy.
Welcome to my (small) website! I’m a student in the US.
In school, I enjoy studying the social sciences, especially history, political science, and international relations.
In my free time, I enjoy dabbling with technology. I’m a self-taught web developer and system administrator. I maintain my own lab with well over 30 servers around the world.
Hobbies
Politics & Law
I participate in several real-life and online political/government simulations.
Web Dev & Design
I have designed & built many websites and web apps, using technologies like WordPress, Vue.js, and Django.
Computing
I manage a nice collection of servers as well as my own network. (Peer with me at AS139921!)
Gaming
Simulator & strategy are my type. GeoGuessr and Sporcle are great as well.
Food
Whenever I visit a new city, I always try foods that I can’t get anywhere else. I’ve also made it my goal to try two local non-chain restaurants near me each week. (It’s been going well so far!)
Much more
I enjoy a lot of other things, and I’m always looking to learn more!

My Projects
GambitProfit.com
I built GambitProfit after Gambit Rewards became very popular in the online-money-earning community. I wanted to make it easier for members of the community to use Gambit Rewards (i.e., eliminate the need to run numbers every day). This site was my first real JAMStack...
AdamBots.com
This is the website for the robotics team that I'm on. It's a large WordPress site with a custom theme coded by our website team (which I lead today) a few years ago. It has nearly 1000 pages and 2000 pictures on the site - a very large site indeed! My team and I...
Unixfy Blog
I built my blog a few years ago, starting with Ghost and moving to WordPress. Today, it's running on WordPress with the GeneratePress theme. I use most of GeneratePress's premium functionality on the website; for instance, the cool cards on the homepage were created...
Authentik Auth Solution
With a growing number of applications and websites, I wanted to reduce the number of logins my users and I have to store, while enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) and increasing convenience. Initially, I deployed AD Federation Services (a natural choice as I...
