Solo founder & developer · Oct 2025 – Present · Self-employed

ROM hacks were scattered across forum threads with patches hosted on MediaFire or Google Drive. I built Hackdex solo on Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, and Cloudflare R2 and introduced in-browser ROM caching: players load their base ROM once and patch any hack instantly, without the server ever touching copyrighted files.

I designed the upload flow for hack authors, not just players. Authors submit and update their own listings through a built-in patcher. Other platforms treated creators as an afterthought or relied on third-party reposts.

Founding engineer

Art streaming for TV and mobile. I was the only engineer for five months before we hired.

Founding engineer & lead developer · June 2024 – Present · Web · TV · Mobile

ArtVue needed one product across web, TV, and mobile, not three separate codebases. I designed and built the Express.js API, Next.js site, and Expo apps. CI/CD deploys to AWS Lambda on every push to main and staging.

As the team grew, I ran technical interviews, onboarded engineers, and reviewed PRs. I also kept non-technical founders aligned on architecture without drowning them in implementation detail.
