Software Architect & Builder

Designing and shipping product platforms — from reverse proxies and APIs to polished web experiences and the observability that keeps them honest.

About

Building systems that stay up

I build end-to-end software systems — multi-tenant SaaS platforms, mobile-adjacent web apps, and the infrastructure that ties them together. My work spans the full stack: TypeScript/Next.js front ends, Node APIs, Postgres data layers, and Docker-based deploys fronted by nginx.

Lately the focus is a self-hosted product ecosystem served from my own hardware — an nginx reverse proxy terminating TLS for a family of apps, with Gitea for source, Prometheus + Grafana for observability, and Let's Encrypt automation throughout.
