About

Software engineer and designer turned solo founder building Layerun: a causal–temporal compute engine for deterministic CI/CD and next-gen developer workflows.

Pain Points

• Slow CI/CD pipelines (5-10 minutes for trivial changes)
• Wasteful rebuilds (no intelligent caching)
• Cache invalidation nightmares (manual dependency management)
• "Works on my machine" issues (non-deterministic execution)
• Lack of provenance (can't trace how artifacts were built)
• Slow feedback breaks AI-assisted development flow

Layerun's Mission

Transform software development workflows from stateless, opaque pipelines into a continuous, deterministic compute fabric where every computation is tracked, cached, and reproducible.

Vision

A world where:

• Developers never wait for unnecessary rebuilds
• CI/CD systems understand causality, not just dependencies
• Every artifact has complete provenance and can be reproduced
• Build systems adapt automatically to code changes
• Time-travel debugging is a first-class feature
• AI-assisted developers can iterate at the speed of thought with instant feedback loops

Tech Stack

• Backend: Rust, TypeScript/Node.js
• Frontend: SvelteKit + TypeScript
• Storage: PostgreSQL, content-addressable storage
• Infrastructure: Cloudflare Pages, serverless functions

Approach

• Independent, architecture-first development
• Deep technical focus on systems design and performance
• Full-stack solo founder: from backend to frontend
• Documentation-driven development (architecture docs as source of truth)
