About

Engineer who likes constraints. Senior mobile developer by trade, serial side-project builder by habit — I ship things that run fast, cost nothing, and skip the unnecessary infrastructure. My latest: The Observatory (gitobservatory.com) — GitHub charted as a night sky, $0 to run: no backend, no database, no AI APIs, no tracking. I document every trick so anyone can steal them.

The Git Observatory - GitHub charted as a night sky. Every star is a real star

The Observatory turns GitHub into an astronomical instrument. Tonight's fastest-rising repos become the brightest stars. Repos that suddenly explode get real supernova designations (SN 2026-07-14A) with Δ-magnitudes calculated the way astronomers do it. Point the telescope at any month back to 2008, get a stellar classification for any repo (Protostar → Hypergiant), or see your own GitHub account drawn as a constellation. 100% client-side, $0 to run, no signup, no tracking.
