founding engineer, ground-up to production

01The problem

Turn James Clear's 20M-copy Atomic Habits framework into a daily product millions could actually rely on.

02The decision

Build to habit-formation's brutal reliability bar — a missed reminder is a broken promise. Observability and fault-tolerance from the first commit, not after the first outage.

03 — Architecture

  • Microservices on DynamoDB + Firebase
  • Grafana observability wired in from the first deploy
  • NextJS / React product surface

04 — Outcome

Shipped the official app behind one of the best-selling habit books of all time — from zero to production.
