About

I build distributed systems, SaaS platforms, financial infrastructure, real-time applications and desktop software for Windows, macOS and Linux. I work across many languages and stacks and pick the tool that fits the problem. What I care about stays the same: clean architecture, maintainable code, performance, and software that stays reliable as products and teams grow. Currently building Kombucha, a free, open-source battery charge limiter for MacBooks: https://github.com/askuksov/kombucha

Kombucha - Limit MacBook charging to extend battery lifespan

A MacBook that stays on its adapter spends its life at 100%, where a lithium-ion cell ages fastest. Kombucha holds the battery inside a range you choose: it stops charging at the upper threshold and resumes at the lower one, so the Mac runs from the adapter while the battery rests. Also: Charge to 100% Once, Heat Protection, discharge to the limit, history charts, battery health. Free and open source (MIT), no network access or telemetry. Apple Silicon, macOS 15–26.
