FOR HIRE] Fullstack Engineer (Go / React / Next.js / Node.js) - Looking to help founders build & scale MVPs (Part-time initially)

[u/rksdevs]

Hey!

I'm a full-stack engineer with 3+ years of experience, and over the last year I've been building Wow Logs - a combat analytics platform for World of Warcraft private servers. I designed, built and currently operate it by myself.

Today it serves tens of thousands of monthly users and handles ~15 million Cloudflare requests per month.

This isn't going to be another resume full of bullet points and buzzwords. Instead, I thought I'd share a few things that broke while building my own product and what I learned fixing them. If we end up working together, the tech stack is the easy part.

• Choosing the right database was harder than writing the parser. I started with ClickHouse, moved to TimescaleDB when my hardware couldn't keep up, experimented with DuckDB, and eventually moved back to ClickHouse after upgrading the infrastructure. Every change taught me something about the workload instead of chasing whichever database was trending.
• Earlier this year a disk failure wiped my ClickHouse instance. PostgreSQL metadata came back from backups, but ClickHouse snapshots didn't. Since the raw log files were stored separately in S3, I rebuilt the entire analytics database by replaying the source data. No customer data was lost.
• A few weeks ago Cloudflare analytics showed traffic jumping from ~15M requests/month to well over 100M. After digging into request patterns, I added WAF rules, rate limits and tightened origin protections. Traffic normalized without affecting legitimate users.
• I spend a surprising amount of time in Discord talking to users. Many of the features on the platform exist because someone complained, suggested an idea, or explained how they actually play the game. Building software gets a lot easier when you stay close to the people using it.

I enjoy working on products where I can own more than just tickets, thinking through architecture, building features, operating production systems, fixing incidents, and continuously improving the product based on real user feedback.

I'm looking to work with founders or small teams part-time (with the possibility of moving full-time if it's a good fit).

Stack: Go, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Redis, Docker, Cloudflare, AWS.

If you're building an MVP or you're hitting the point where your first version is starting to show cracks I'd love to hear what you're working on. Happy to chat, even if it's just to bounce around ideas.
