About

A decade of Java half of it on Minecraft.

I started with my own Minecraft servers a decade ago, learning Java the hard way — fixing my own crashes at 2am while 200 players waited.

Today I do it professionally. Five years deep into Spigot/Paper/Purpur, building production-grade plugins for LoverCraft, a network running up to 1,500 concurrent players. Before that, eight years shipping enterprise Java/Angular systems for Kinross Gold, Grendene, and Olfar.

  • NMS-deep performance and remapping work
  • Cross-server Redis architectures (pub/sub, distributed locks, runner election)
  • Anti-dupe systems and packet interception via ProtocolLib
  • World-per-island engines with SlimeWorldManager + FAWE
  • Production debugging at 2am — the kind that only comes from running it live
// what I optimize for
throughput: "main-thread safe",
consistency: "network-wide",
recovery: "< 60s on incident",
audit: "every coin movement logged"
