01 / Independent developer + creator
I'm Landen Stephens, aka Olykir. I build web applications and microcontroller-powered products, taking ideas from the first sketch to the final shipped experience.

Developer, creator, and automotive enthusiast
Hey, I'm Landen Stephens, a web and firmware developer drawn to emerging technology and automotive culture. By day, I operate CNC machines; by night, I build at VibeCTRL, creating everything from embedded systems to modern web applications.
My technical expertise spans across React, Preact, and Node.js for web development, while I dive deep into firmware development for hardware integration. I've built robust systems using Discord.js and created scalable applications with NextJS and other modern frameworks.
Beyond the code, I'm a content creator sharing my love for cars on TikTok and Instagram. I create engaging automotive content that connects with car enthusiasts, showcasing builds, car culture, and everything that makes the automotive world exciting.
Whether I'm debugging firmware, building web applications, or filming content for social media, I bring the same passion and attention to detail to everything I do. Let's build something amazing together.
