Open source
Building in public, for the World.
Personal open-source projects I created and maintain, Apache-2.0 licensed, community-driven and built with privacy and AI-assisted development in mind.
Averri
AI writes the code. Averri knows the rules.
An open-source tool for backend code written with AI assistants. You declare your system's rules (who may do what, and what must always be true) and Averri compiles them into facts AI coding agents check before editing, plus generated tests that verify the rules hold.
- Static compiler maps Prisma, routes and Zod schemas without executing code
- Eight MCP tools for Claude Code, Cursor and other agents
- Generated Vitest suites check rules on every change
- CLI: init, build, testgen, check. No telemetry
- TypeScript

- Prisma
- Zod
- Vitest

How I build products
Start with the problem.
Understand the customer, business objective and technical constraints before deciding what to build.
Build with engineering.
Treat technology and architecture as part of product thinking, not simply an implementation detail.
Validate early.
Use prototypes, customer feedback and experiments to reduce product risk.
Ship and learn.
Launch products, measure behaviour and continuously improve based on evidence.
Use AI where it creates value.
AI should solve a real customer problem or meaningfully improve the product experience, not exist simply because it is technically possible.
