ABOUT HJ0 // PORTFOLIO DISCLOSURE

The work is the resume.

HJ0 is the public creative and technical identity of Johnathan Hales: musician, programmer, writer, media builder, and creator of the Hopeless Inferno universe.

SyncroTel Labs is the systems imprint around that work. It functions as a public portfolio, a software workshop, a media infrastructure project, and an in-universe corporate entity wearing the same badge.

The useful pieces are intentionally hidden in plain sight: data tools, map surfaces, status feeds, publishing workflows, creative automation, and interface experiments wrapped in corporate cyberpunk language.
