I keep the lights on for 50,000+ creators, and occasionally turn them off by accident and back on again before anyone notices.
Backend + DevOps at Scribble Network. I walked in as the first backend hire, sat next to the CTO and ended up owning basically everything with a port number: the APIs, the databases, the pipelines, the clouds (plural, we moved house once). Before that I took a creaky Drupal site at BuidlersTribe, rebuilt it on MERN, and features started shipping 30% faster.

3.5+ yrs in the prod trenchesKili AI — ads that show up only while your AI agent is "thinking", and pay you back for the tokens. Devs keep 50% of revenue, paid in stablecoins or Stripe. Shipped the whole thing (public API, internal server, two dev packages) in 4 days.
Scribble Brands — makes ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Grok talk about your brand. One client went from 2% → 20% AI citation share in 3 months. Landed in Product Hunt's Top 3 AI Products of the Week.
Scribble Creators — creators write, brands pay. 50,000+ creators, 800+ campaigns, $500,000+ paid out.
GitOpener — a friendly on-ramp for your first open source PR, with live guides and GitHub sign-in. Built with zero AI code, back when that was the only way. (source)
