About

Backend-focused developer building API-first, async-driven SaaS products. I work mainly with Symfony and modern backend tooling, focusing on scalable architecture, event-driven systems, and clean integrations. I’m particularly interested in replacing inefficient patterns (like polling) with real-time or async workflows using queues, webhooks, and pub/sub approaches. Currently building tools around document generation, automation, and developer infrastructure; making it easier to turn structured data into usable outputs (like PDFs) and plug into existing systems. I value performance, simplicity, and maintainability; shipping fast, but with systems that hold up under real-world usage.

Doculin - PDFGen API, minus infra hassle - PDF generation API, minus the infra hassle

Stop maintaining PDF infrastructure. Doculin is a simple HTML-to-PDF API; no wkhtmltopdf, no Docker, no Gotenberg setup. Just send HTML and get a PDF back, with built-in watermarking. Fast, reliable, and built for developers.

From Gotenberg frustration to a 5-minute PDF integration

Hey Product Hunt!

I'm the maker of Doculin, an HTML to PDF API I built out of pure frustration.

Every project I worked on eventually needed PDF generation. And every time, I'd lose a day or two setting up Gotenberg, configuring wkhtmltopdf, or wrangling a headless browser. It's a solved problem that somehow never feels solved.
