Hello
- 👋 Hi, I’m David
- 🌏 I live in the GMT+8 timezone
- 💼 I’m a 15 YoE backend, infra, SRE, currently taking a short sabbatical to try to build a business
- 🏡 I run my own Autonomous System (ASN) with most of my projects, running on servers hosted in my homelab
- 💗 I love everything relating tech infrastructure, cloud-native, building systems, devops, observability and engineer productivity
- 👀 I’m interested in building infra-related tools and projects to bring down walled-gardens and to promote a free, decentralized and safe internet (web 1.0 roots)
- 🛠️ I mostly write in golang now, but I’m also excited to pick up a Beam VM language
Daily Drivers
- I run my code and work mostly off a remote ssh server running in my homelab, so my daily drivers consists of just vim9, tmux, wireguard and ssh.
Blog
This blog is a braindump of my thoughts since 2009. Some of it is more longer-form, others may just be code snippet I leave behind contemptously to remember certain actions. I do intend to write my thoughts more now that I have more free time.
Homelab
Since 2019, I’ve been collecting enterprise hardware to build out my homelab. I enjoy building servers to tinker with it. Since getting my own ASN and IPv4/IPv6 block of addresses, part of that network lands in here where I serve most of my personal projects.
Projects
I currently consolidate most of my online projects at 2launch.us.
Some of the projects I’m currently working on:
- Quietnet.app - A global adblocking DNS service
- Relaye.io - A notification platform that receives incoming messages and duplicates/redirects them to multiple different notification channels
- Newsletters.love - A platform to consume your curated newsletters
- Obtain.email - A no-frill email platform for solopreneurs who want to quickly receive emails for new projects
- Maskthis.email - A disposable email forwarding service with webhooks
- Sendnotes.co - A telegram bot that helps organize braindumps, notes that you leave behind
Business
I also run The Cubiclerebels, a software consultancy that builds and maintains web applications and manages it end-to-end from design to deployment.
