Experience
A modern, lightweight database management tool. Create, manage, and run multiple database instances locally with an intuitive interface. Actively developed and maintained, with ongoing sponsorship from Hetzner.
- Multi-Database Support: Manage PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis databases all in one place.
- Easy Installation: Automatic database installation with version selection via platform package managers.
- Database Lifecycle Management: Create, start, stop, and delete database instances with ease.
- Auto-Start: Configure databases to automatically start when the application launches.
- Modern UI: Beautiful, responsive interface built with React and Tailwind CSS.

- Engineered a real-time platform backend, utilizing Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, and Terraform. This platform scaled to handle over 10,000 daily events.
- Optimized data ingestion and map APIs, resulting in a 50% improvement in server-side response times through Redis caching.
- Built LLM-powered pipelines for event summarization, which reduced analyst triage time by 40%.
- Designed and implemented a custom JWT-based authentication system using TypeScript, JavaScript, Redis, and Sentry, improving login throughput by 60% and enabling observability.
