About

I started NodeBook because most Node.js material stops at routes, middleware, and promises. I wanted to explain the problems that come later: memory leaks, blocked event loops, stalled streams, and slow requests.

I also build tools I need in my own projects. OpenPocketBaseSDK started as a way to use PocketBase in Unreal Engine without having to write the networking layer each time.

I work with Rust, C/C++, Go, Node.js, and TypeScript.
