The backstory
Booster Module is the handle I use to write about the transition from big-tech infrastructure work to building products as the solo technical person. I've been programming for thirty years (I'm actually not that old, I just started very young) and spent much of my career working on foundational systems at scale, eventually reaching Staff Engineer.
That work crossed distributed systems, security, privacy, automated repair, shard management, payments, and the perpetual work of reducing cost and latency. Going solo gives me a chance to bring those lessons into the whole product: from architecture and operations to user experience and the business around it.
