Source-Bounded Exact Recovery over Docker's Logs API
Preprint 2026 · Abstract
Defines source-bounded exactness — every retained, distinguishable Docker source record eventually appears exactly once in durable collector output — with a generation-aware multiset oracle that separates source truncation from collector omission. Across 120 collector-runs, a fixed LogDeck revision was exact in 60/60 trials while unmodified Grafana Alloy 1.18.0 was exact in 20/60, showing that lifecycle reacquisition, not a persisted read position alone, determines exact recovery within the retained-source horizon.
CoFEE: Reasoning Control for LLM-Based Feature Discovery
arXiv 2026 · Abstract
A framework for automating feature discovery from unstructured data using LLMs with cognitive constraints, inducing reasoning behaviors like backward chaining from outcomes and verification against data leakage criteria. Achieves 15.2% higher success rate, 29% fewer features generated, and 53.3% cost reduction over vanilla LLM approaches.

Projects
Telemetry
Observability for AI and LLM apps, built on OpenTelemetry.
Captures every model call, tool step, and retrieval as a trace — with tokens, cost, latency, and errors attached — through drop-in TypeScript and Python SDKs or any OTLP exporter, with cost computed from live pricing for 4,700+ models.
LogDeck
A self-hosted control plane for Docker and Podman, shipped as a single Go binary.
Tails every container into a local store so log history survives redeploys, and adds full-text search, container and Compose management, alerting, multi-host support, and a built-in MCP server that lets AI assistants read logs and act on containers.
iShortn
A URL shortening service with a built-in analytics dashboard.
It tracks link clicks, geographic data, and user behavior in real-time. Currently has over 10,000 users and more than a million link clicks.

Lookout
A zero-dependency monitoring agent for Linux servers, written in Go.
Reads metrics directly from /proc and evaluates alert rules in-process — with hysteresis thresholds, disk-fill prediction, and a dead-man's switch — shipping as a single static binary under systemd instead of a full Prometheus stack.
formbase.dev
A backend service for HTML forms.
It lets users collect form submissions and file uploads just by pointing their HTML form to the service endpoint, no backend code required.
OpenStatus
Active contributor to OpenStatus, the open-source monitoring platform with incident management.
RiftCheck
AI-powered API contract change detection for GitHub repositories.
Monitors every commit and PR for breaking changes across REST, GraphQL, and gRPC, and notifies the right teams instantly.
is-temp.com
A temporary email service powered by a custom SMTP server built in Golang.
It provides disposable email addresses and supports attachments and custom domains.
directt.to
An open-source alternative to Google Dynamic Links — create powerful, trackable, and customizable short links.
zihni
AI-powered analyst agents for VCs.
Built autonomous LLM-based agents to automate early-stage tasks like pitch deck analysis, market research, and investment memo generation—drastically reducing due diligence time.
bazaar
A full-stack self-healing web scraper that leverages AI to automate complex web scraping workflows—over 10 million records collected, with a 90% reduction in manual data collection.
docker reverse proxy
A custom Docker reverse proxy built from scratch to understand how tools like Traefik and NGINX work under the hood.
Focused on dynamic service discovery and routing.
meta-scout
A simple API that extracts website metadata—including Open Graph images, descriptions, and titles—for quick content previews and link enrichment.
