I design and build production systems with long-term stability in mind. End-to-end ownership from architecture through implementation to operations. Focus on maintainability, trade-off decisions, and systems others can trust.

“Code with purpose. Build for scale. Ship with confidence.”

Core Strengths

End-to-end ownership (architecture → production)
Production-first mindset
Incident-aware system design
Long-term maintainability focus
Modular architecture with feature toggles
Trade-off based decision-making

Selected Projects

Music Distribution Platform
Next.jsTypeScriptNode.jsPostgres

Platform for label operations and music distribution, in active development since November 2025. End-to-end designed and built with focus on stability, maintainability, and operational safety. Feature-based architecture with feature toggles enables safe iteration and prevents cascading failures. System complexity absorbed during design phase—appears simple as result of correct architectural decisions.

Orbitr
Next.js 15TypeScriptDockerdockerodePrisma ORMSQLiteTanStack Queryshadcn/uiTailwind CSSpnpmTurborepo

Production-ready Docker-native self-hosting orchestration platform. Makes running Docker applications as simple as installing apps on your phone. Extension-first architecture with direct Docker API integration, automatic reverse proxy automation, health monitoring, and modern responsive UI. Built with monorepo structure using pnpm workspaces and Turborepo for optimal development workflow.

Portfolio Website
Next.js 16React 19TypeScriptTailwind CSS 4JestResend API

Personal portfolio built with modern web technologies. Features custom cursor interactions, parallax effects, and functional contact form with automated email delivery. Comprehensive test coverage (156 tests) following SOLID principles with modular architecture. CI/CD pipeline with automated testing and deployment.

Bookr
Next.js 15React Server ComponentsTypeScriptPrismaPostgreSQLRedisNextAuthStripeDockerTraefik

Self-hosted SaaS booking platform for creative studios with multi-tenant architecture and row-level security. Race-condition-safe booking using Redis distributed locks and database transactions. Stripe subscriptions with backend enforcement. Production-optimized for 2GB RAM VPS (~930MB footprint). One-command deployment reducing setup from 45min to 5min.

Case Study: Music Distribution Platform

The Challenge

A music label needed a platform to manage their catalog distribution across multiple streaming services. The existing system was unstable, difficult to maintain, and couldn't scale with their growing needs.

Problems Faced

  • • 40% of releases delayed due to system instability
  • • Manual processes requiring 20+ hours/week
  • • No visibility into distribution performance
  • • High risk of data loss during updates

Business Impact

  • • Platform stability critical for operations
  • • Artist relationships strained by delays
  • • Competitive disadvantage in market
  • • Team burnout from manual processes
The Solution

Designed and built an end-to-end platform prioritizing long-term stability over rapid feature development. Implemented modular architecture with feature toggles to enable safe iteration. Platform in active development since November 2025.
