Summary

I’m a product-driven software engineer with nearly a decade of experience building systems that work, especially under constraints. I specialize in backend infrastructure, open-source tooling, and communication protocols like SMS and Matrix, with a focus on reliability, efficiency, and pushing platforms beyond their limits. As the founder of Afkanerd, I lead development on mission-critical tools like RelaySMS and DekuSMS, navigating everything from low-level Android internals to modern API design. I thrive in hard problem spaces and value function over hype, shipping resilient, usable systems, even with limited resources. I don't chase management titles; I build and break things until they work, and I help others do the same.
