RunxShop is a security-first web development initiative founded by Kione, a backend developer and cloud security advocate based in Harlem, NY. Our mission is to bridge the gap between secure technology and underserved or self-taught developers, especially those just beginning their coding journey. We aim to empower communities by giving them control over their web infrastructure, eliminating the need to rely on GoDaddy, Wix, or similar cloud providers. What We Do: We build and deploy secure backend environments using trusted protocols like SSL/TLS, DNSSEC, and SFTP. Our focus is on delivering secure, cloud-ready runtimes to both experienced professionals and curious coders navigating web infrastructure for the first time. In addition, we teach the “middle layer” of cloud services—servers, databases, APIs, and deployment—so developers can confidently build and maintain their own web projects independently. Whether launching a project or learning the stack, we equip developers with tools to create safe, scalable solutions. Why It Matters: Understanding your development stack isn't just best practice—it’s vital for making confident decisions, maintaining system integrity, and scaling responsibly. At RunxShop, we emphasize hands-on learning, clear architectural guidance, and secure deployment practices to help developers—from hobbyists to professionals—build with both purpose and protection in mind. Our Philosophy: "The Runtime isn't just a technical detail—it's the foundation of application behavior, security enforcement, and system performance. A secure runtime prevents vulnerabilities before they reach your users. Mastering this layer ensures that your projects are robust, reliable, and scalable." We hope you'll join our community and be part of shaping a safer, more empowered future for tech.
The RunxShop is an educational technology platform focused on helping young people understand how websites and online systems work—safely, responsibly, and correctly. Our approach emphasizes strong foundations, ethical learning, and real-world skills that extend far beyond basic coding tutorials. What We Teach Students at The RunxShop learn how modern websites are built, secured, and maintained. This includes: Understanding how information moves safely across the internet Learning how servers and databases support websites and applications Building projects using industry-standard tools and best practices Developing problem-solving and critical thinking skills through hands-on learning These are the same concepts used by professionals in web development, IT, and cybersecurity careers. Our Focus on Safety and Responsibility Safety is a core value of The RunxShop. We teach technology from a security-first and ethics-first perspective, meaning: Students learn how systems are protected, not how they are exploited Privacy, data protection, and responsible use are emphasized at every level Learning is guided by real-world standards used in professional environments Our goal is to help students become informed and responsible creators of technology.
