Senior Full-Stack Architect & Consultant
Shipping Scalable, Pragmatic Systems Since 2005
I help technical founders, fast-growing startups, and established enterprises design, audit, and ship rock-solid software. With 20+ years of continuous production delivery, I cut through hype to engineer architectures that scale cleanly without technical debt.
From strongly typed functional backends (Haskell) and robust enterprise services (Python, PHP, Node.js) to reproducible infrastructure (Nix/Docker) and decentralized protocols (Nostr/Lightning).
Continuous production engineering since 2005
Conferences & developer meetups founded
Haskell, Python, PHP, Node.js, Nix
High reliability & zero unnecessary bloat
Consulting & Engineering Services
Tailored engineering engagements for founders and leadership teams who need senior execution without the overhead.
Fractional Tech Leadership & Architecture
Architectural roadmaps, comprehensive codebase audits, system refactoring plans, and reproducible developer environments.
- Code audits & technical debt triage
- Nix & Docker infrastructure automation
- Scalable API & database schema design
Full-Stack & Polyglot Backend
High-throughput backend engines paired with responsive modern client interfaces that convert and retain users.
- Haskell functional backend systems
- Python (Django) & PHP (Symfony)
- React, Next.js, Node.js & Tailwind CSS
Decentralized Web & Custom Systems
Implementation of censorship-resistant protocols, instant Bitcoin Lightning micropayments, and bespoke custom integrations.
- Nostr protocol architecture & NIPs
- LNURL / Bitcoin Lightning settlements
- Shopify plugins & enterprise bridges
Featured Systems & Work
Selected architectures, production systems, and open-source contributions.
Decentralized Web & Nostr Protocol Infrastructure
Architected and deployed open-source Nostr protocol tools, NIP-05 identity verifiers, and micro-payment bridges enabling censorship-resistant decentralized communication.
Polyglot Microservices & High-Throughput APIs
Engineered resilient backend engines combining strongly typed Haskell microservices, robust Symfony frameworks, and high-velocity Django backends with optimized database queries.
Reproducible Infrastructure with Nix & Docker
Eliminated "works on my machine" bottlenecks by designing declarative Nix flake environments, automated CI/CD pipelines, and bulletproof containerized cloud deployments.
Nostr Protocol & Open-Source Ecosystem
A suite of production applications, developer tools, Haskell client libraries, and data sovereignty bridges built on the decentralized Nostr protocol and Bitcoin Lightning network.
NostrBridge
bridge.workouse.com
Sub-second event automation running on Cloudflare Workers edge. Transforms incoming HTTP webhooks (GitHub, Stripe, RSS) into signed Nostr notes across 12 event kinds with Liquid templates & Zap billing.
Snips
snips.emre.xyz
Censorship-resistant code snippet and gist sharing platform built on Nostr (NIP-C0 kind:1337). Includes syntax highlighting for 25+ languages, interactive Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb) rendering, and Colab integration.
x2nostr
x2nostr.emre.xyz
Universal client-side data migration platform. Empowers users to escape walled gardens by converting Goodreads reading logs, IMDb/Letterboxd movie ratings, Spotify history, Twitter archives, and blogs directly into Nostr events.
Nostr Web Hub
nostr.emre.xyz
A serverless, zero-auth read-only Nostr client rendering live kind:1 notes and updates for public web visitors. Seamlessly displays posts and verifies identity via NIP-05 DNS mapping.
nostr.hs
gitworkshop • Haskell Client
Robust Nostr protocol client library for the Haskell ecosystem. Features strongly typed protocol data models, Schnorr cryptographic signing, NIP-01 core schemas, NIP-02 contact lists, NIP-05 DNS verification, and NIP-19 bech32 entities.
hugo2nostr
gitworkshop • Publishing CLI
CLI bridge tool connecting Hugo static blog sites to the Nostr network. Publishes markdown blog posts as NIP-23 kind:30023 long-form articles, synchronizes content back from relays, and manages article lifecycles.
Verified via NIP-05 DNS mapping • Lightning Address for instant zaps: [email protected]
Verified Professional Track Record
Direct access to verified code repositories, freelance client histories, and professional references.
Keynote Talks & Presentations
Technical presentations and masterclasses delivered at developer conferences and summits.
