Projects 7
EU Air Traffic
Live and historical European airspace: ADS-B positions, OpenSky movements, schedules and weather stream through Kafka into a Bronze and Silver lake, a dbt warehouse on DuckDB and a read-only serving copy behind a public dashboard.
OpenGrammar
Privacy-first, self-hosted writing assistant: a browser extension with a 156,000-word offline engine and more than 40 rule patterns, an AI router that only sees what local rules miss, and a Hono backend that deploys to five runtimes.
AegisVision
A multi-camera surveillance and behavioral monitoring platform that runs on ordinary hardware. It does real-time face recognition with anti-spoofing liveness checks, tracks occupancy and gate traffic, remembers where tracked assets were last seen, sends alerts, and includes an AI copilot that answers questions about the live database in plain English.
Aurora
A modular reasoning architecture that knows when to abstain: six stages with an explicit uncertainty channel, a deterministic DAG router, stateless experts and a verification anchor. GSM8K accuracy 47.2% to 55.6% while confidently wrong answers drop from 19.8% to 2.9%.
EuroStream
GDPR-native streaming and medallion lakehouse for European commerce: real-time fraud scoring, DuckDB and Turso serving, and a six-layer Article 17 erasure cascade with a verifiable audit trail.
OpenCodeHub
OpenCodeHub is a self-hosted, open-source Git platform meant as an alternative to GitHub and GitLab. Git hosting, pull requests, stacked PRs, merge queues, CI/CD, AI-assisted code review, issues, organizations, webhooks, REST and GraphQL APIs, and a CLI all live in one deployable system. It's built as a modular monolith with optional background workers and CI runners, so it runs on one machine and can still scale horizontally. Git works over HTTP Smart Protocol and SSH. Storage is pluggable (local or S3-compatible), several database backends are supported, CI runs in Docker containers, queues use Redis, and code review can talk to multiple AI providers.

-
Founder · OpencodeHub
A free, self-hosted alternative to GitHub with SSH access, CI pipelines, and AI-assisted code review, plus a place to discover and share projects. Users run it on their own machines, so their code never touches our servers.
-
Co-Founder & Lead Data/Backend Engineer · BoringRats (Acquired)
Co-founded BoringRats and grew it to 1M+ active users. Built the real-time event ingestion pipelines, the analytics warehouse, and the MLOps workflows, along with the backend systems and infrastructure the product ran on. The company was acquired in November 2025.
-
Full Stack Developer · Freelance
Built 8+ full-stack projects for SaaS and e-commerce clients in the US and UK. Cut page load times by 40% through React optimization, and shipped Django and PostgreSQL REST APIs handling 10K+ requests a day.
