Makeomatic

25-package monorepo, maintained since 2015. 4 transport layers (AMQP/RabbitMQ, HTTP/hapi.js, WebSocket/socket.io, Kafka/rdkafka), 7 database adapters (Redis Cluster, Redis Sentinel, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, CouchDB), and a 6-phase request lifecycle with 12 extension points modeled after hapi.js. Transport-agnostic — the same action handler works identically over HTTP, AMQP, or WebSocket. 624 releases, v24.0.0. Powers StreamLayer's entire backend.

Production-tested microservices extracted from client work and open-sourced. All communicating over AMQP (RabbitMQ) with Redis for distributed locking, sorted/filtered queries via custom Lua scripts, and pub/sub coordination.

Distributed systems primitives extracted from production needs and open-sourced:

Cloud architecture for 3D product visualization SaaS serving enterprise retail. Built the API, cloud admin panel, 3D player, analytics engine, user management (ms-users), and payment infrastructure (ms-payments). Patented 3D View format (US20190019327A1). Accepted to Plug and Play retail accelerator.

People search engine aggregating public profiles from Facebook, LinkedIn, AngelList and other networks into searchable "ghost profiles." Y Combinator Winter 2012 batch, TechCrunch Disrupt NYC 2012 Battlefield finalist. Raised $4.2M seed with 234K signups in the first month. Facebook explored acquiring the company.

Scaled Elasticsearch across 5-20 data nodes. Achieved sub-500ms uncached queries from initial 10+ second response times through index optimization, shard tuning, and query restructuring.

Real-time IoT analytics dashboard (BrainsApp) for a Cambridge-based industrial IoT company. Built the web application for executives to process and visualize live sensor data — water consumption, power usage, and hazardous emissions monitoring. The platform evolved into brains.app, now an Industrial AI platform deployed across mining operations in Chile, Australia, Kazakhstan, Brazil, and South Africa.

Mobile platform giving college radio stations their own branded apps. Each station gets a customizable app with logo, programming schedule, social media feeds, and real-time chat between DJs and listeners. Built "smart ad" technology that triggers visual/interactive content on mobile synchronized with audio spots playing on air.

Platform automating international shipping paperwork. Core feature: intelligent Elasticsearch-powered search across the Harmonized System (HS) code database — 21 sections, 96 chapters of international trade classifications. Replaced manual customs code lookup (hours of work) with instant search. Multi-currency transactions, international address verification, automated customs documentation for EU-US routes.
