Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience building multi-tenant SaaS platforms, payment systems, and AI-powered applications. Currently Lead Software Engineer at Dara'S Services, working mostly on the backend with TypeScript, Node.js (NestJS), and PostgreSQL.

I write about System Design, distributed architecture, and practical AI engineering — real-world lessons from building scalable systems.

• 🗣️ nativo — A language-learning app I'm currently building: LingQ-style assisted reading (listen, read aloud, tap a word for meanings, track how well you know it) plus AI-powered writing feedback. Private for now — building it to replace my own subscriptions first.
• 📝 veta — A CLI that turns YouTube videos into clean, structured, AI-ready notes.
• 🎙️ openwhispr-proxy — A local OpenAI-compatible proxy server between OpenWhispr and Vercel AI Gateway — forwards transcription and chat requests, tracks usage and cost.
• 🔖 linkseek — A bookmark manager to save and find your links fast.
• ⚖️ link-shortener-scalability-lab — A URL shortener built to be broken: a hands-on System Design lab that scales bottleneck by bottleneck — measure with k6, diagnose with Prometheus/Grafana, fix only what the numbers demand.

Contributions to projects I use daily:
