About

I’m a self-taught backend and infra engineer focused on removing friction from the day-to-day coding experience. My engineering approach is simple: keep it local. Instead of relying on external third-party services, I build lightweight, resilient local alternatives that give developers total control over their stack, without the cloud dependency where possible. What I’ve built: QuickServe: A VS Code extension providing zero-config local servers, currently trusted by 2,500+ developers. mitm-core: A strictly-typed proxy framework built to intercept and inspect HTTPS traffic seamlessly. Local Email Receiver: A custom SMTP server that catches test emails directly on your machine, eliminating the need for third-party sandboxes.

QuickServe - Spin up local server instantly within VS Code.

QuickServe is a zero-config local development server for VSCode that lets you instantly preview and auto-reload HTML and Markdown files with zero friction. What makes it unique? Unlike basic servers, it features a deep dependency graph for smart change detection and Hot Module Replacement (HMR) for state-preserving updates. It also packs advanced, hassle-free tools like self-healing HTTPS, mobile testing via QR codes, and one-click status bar controls.
