portrait.ascii62×70 · hover to decode

I'm Nano, a senior software engineer who likes the whole stack of a screen: the motion you feel, the state you don't see, and the network call that has to survive a flaky provider. I lead frontend at Kwikpik, where I've shipped nine apps for customers, riders and merchants, and I've spent the years before that in AI, fintech, Logistics, DeFi and agency work, mostly at early-stage startups where you own it all.

I care about user experience you can measure : load time, input latency, honest loading and error states, and about clear writing, because the PR description is part of the product.

Lately: in-browser ML for identity checks, mini-app architectures in React Native, and hardening HTTP clients so payments don't fall over when a vendor does.

Pretty is the easy part. It also has to hold up.

POST/v1/documents/verify
breaker: closed
Authorization: HMAC-SHA256 …Idempotency-Key: 7f3a-…-c21etimeout: 8s
scenario: transient failure

A hardened provider client. Pluggable auth (bearer, HMAC, OAuth2 client credentials), exponential backoff that honours Retry-After, no retries on 4xx, per-step idempotency keys, timeouts and a circuit breaker, with typed, redacted error logs.

  5. status: approvedbuildPlan() is the only branch

A server-driven verification flow. An explicit state machine decides the next step; personal and business plans share the same step objects so they can't drift. Single-use signed capture tickets and optimistic concurrency keep it honest.

A hardened HTTP client for flaky providers

Retries that respect Retry-After, never retry a 4xx, idempotency keys per step, and a circuit breaker — the rules I now put in front of every vendor.

Server-driven KYC flows with a state machine

Why the client should never decide what step comes next, and how one buildPlan() function keeps personal and business verification from drifting apart.

Turning a React Native app into a mini-app shell

An AppRegistry, reducers injected at runtime and a tiny event bus — how Kwikpik's delivery app became a home for finance, bills and dispatch without becoming a monolith.
