Engineering memoirs, startup insights, and technical essays
Startup ecosystems are built, not declared. A decade and 200+ repositories of evidence across six fronts: platforms and registries, access to capital, talent and education, the founder journey, original tools and IP, and trust engineering - all of it inspectable, none of it invented.
A complete investor-discovery SaaS built solo: Express/PostgreSQL/Stripe API with tier-based paywall, React storefront iterated across 286 commits, a six-step waitlist funnel, and a white-labeled support desk - wrapped around a 25,000+ investor dataset.
Sole developer of LuraVPN's identity microservice: FastAPI/PostgreSQL/Redis, JWT/OTP/SSO auth, an influencer referral subsystem, OpenTelemetry + Prometheus observability, a five-layer test suite, and lint/type/test-gated CI shipping Docker images to GHCR.
A polyglot (Go + Python) microservices malware-protection platform: API gateway, threat-intelligence with live Google Web Risk integration, URL filtering, logging/reporting, and notifications - built in ~6 weeks from a self-authored GCP/Kubernetes architecture package.
A science-informed explanation of the orange and yellow colors some people notice with closed eyes during intense yoga, including entoptic phenomena, phosphenes, circulation changes, and warning signs.
Companies that fail to build personal Artificial Intel agents risk being outpaced within the next decade as AI, energy efficiency, and compute continue accelerating.
How Einsteins relativity reshaped how I think about software systems, time, and what it means to build well.
Explore TCP and UDP, understanding their roles in reliable and fast data transmission for robust software solutions.
How electrical circuit concepts translate to resilient software systems and startup architecture patterns.
