Seven years building backend systems that need to stay up — user services at 99.99%, event-driven pipelines, compliance plumbing across thirty-odd microservices.
Then I go home and write Flutter.
It started as a way to stop juggling four debrid dashboards. It's since grown a website, a subreddit and a Discord full of people who care about the details — which has been the best part by a distance.

stremio-addon-importer — a small browser extension that exports your installed Stremio addons as JSON. Handy when you're moving between setups.
A few things I'm glad I got to build
- CCPA compliance at Opendoor, as the only developer on it — RelyanceAI wired into 30+ microservices, with Kafka handling access and deletion requests so nothing was dropped and everything stayed auditable. Saved ~$30K in vendor cost and headed off $50K+ in penalties.
- KOPS → Amazon EKS for production services, taking 25% off the infrastructure bill along the way.
- The User Details Service at Jio — horizontally scalable, 99.99% availability, comfortable through 3× promotional traffic spikes on GKE.
- Code review standards that stuck around after I moved on, and three engineers I really enjoyed mentoring.
Happily busy with my own projects at the moment — but I always enjoy hearing about an interesting problem.
