Founder, SnapDeploy. $1/day Docker PaaS

About

Indie founder + ex-platform engineer (Spring Boot, AWS, Java). Built SnapDeploy because every PaaS made me feel guilty about side projects I wasn't running 24/7. Currently obsessed with the "deploy → first request" latency gap, AI-fixing broken requirements.txt / package.json / Dockerfile builds, and pricing models that don't punish casual usage. DPIIT-recognized | Anthropic Claude for Startups cohort. Launching here Tuesday, June 23 🚀
