Founder & Engineer at Opencat Devs
Building production-ready, scalable, and open-source distributed systems.
I'm a software engineer specializing in real-time infrastructure, distributed systems, and high-performance backends. I focus on building systems that are production-ready from day oneβnot just proofs of concept.

Infrastructure & Data |
Custom Chat Server (Go)
- Designed for 10K+ concurrent connections
- Stable long-lived WebSocket connections
- Production-hardened with proper error handling, reconnection logic, and monitoring
Multi-Language Signaling Servers
- JavaScript/TypeScript (Node.js + Socket.IO) for rapid development
- Rust implementation for performance-critical deployments
- Used for WebRTC call setup, peer coordination, and real-time messaging
Additional Real-Time Tech
- WebSocket & Socket.IO protocols
- Kafka for event streaming
- FRP/Tunneling for secure remote access
Go-Based Chat Server
- Production-grade architecture with proper connection pooling
- Handles thousands of concurrent users with sub-100ms latency
- Built-in observability with metrics and structured logging
WebRTC Signaling Servers
- JavaScript implementation: Rapid prototyping, easy deployment
- Rust implementation: 40% lower latency, minimal resource usage
- Battle-tested in production video calling applications
Image & Metadata Pipeline
- HDFS-backed storage for millions of images
- Real-time bounding box predictions with ML integration
- Geo-location aware datasets with spatial indexing
- Designed for terabyte-scale data processing
Student Management Platform
- Role-based access control (RBAC) with JWT authentication
- Separate dashboards for teachers, students, and administrators
- RESTful APIs with comprehensive Swagger documentation
- PostgreSQL with optimized query patterns for sub-second response times
I build software guided by these principles:
π― Production-First
ββ Every line of code should be deployable to real users
π§© Clean Architecture
ββ Maintainable, testable, and understandable by others
β‘ Performance Matters
ββ Measure everything, optimize what counts
π Open Source
ββ Share knowledge, build in public, lift others up
π Security by Design
ββ Authentication, authorization, and encryption from day one
- π¨ Building next-generation real-time collaboration tools
