Kuureki.
Student & indie builder
I build products at the intersection of consumer entertainment culture and systems engineering. Megami, a Discord economy bot with full relationship mechanics — ownership, trading, marriage, and a community drama feed. Seasonly, a fantasy league platform for seasonal entertainment drafts — users predict their top picks and score against real performance data. Brume, a Rust realtime gateway that competes with Pusher and Ably but is entirely self-hostable and DB-agnostic. I care about products that are honest, well-crafted, and solve problems that actually exist.
What I'm about.
The thinking behind the projects and how I approach building.
Domain depth first
I study the domain before touching code. The quality gap between most software and what practitioners actually need is almost always a knowledge problem, not a technical one.
Privacy by design
I think carefully about what data should and should not leave a user's machine — not as a compliance checkbox, but as an architectural constraint from the start.
Lean infrastructure
Tight budgets force better decisions. I build with the smallest footprint that meets the requirement, and treat every unnecessary dependency as a liability.
Ship, then refine
A working version in front of real users is worth more than a perfect architecture in a design doc. I move fast on the first version and let actual use reveal what matters.
Working principles
- —Understand the domain before writing a line of code.
- —Privacy is a feature, not a compliance checkbox.
- —Ship a working version before optimising the architecture.
- —Find the gap in existing tools — build replacements, not clones.
- —Treat every unnecessary dependency as a liability.
Things I've built.
Community-driven Discord economy bot with ownership, trading, and relationship mechanics. Real-ESRGAN image pipeline for high-quality card visuals.
Realtime WebSocket gateway built in Rust. Typed pub/sub channels, presence tracking, and Postgres change streams — as a single deployable binary. Flat-rate pricing, no per-connection billing.
Premium seasonal fantasy league platform. Draft your predicted top shows each season, compete in private or public leagues, scored against real AniList data. Flat-rate pricing, no premium features locked behind paywalls.
