Kavinda, is an excellent resource here on this platform. He not only helped me by writing a code from scratch but also explained what each line of the code does and how it works.

Kevin handled the task very quickly with a great deal of care. He listened to all my requests and requests and even created an instructional video on the code without asking. This especially helps in understanding the code and his thoughts behind it. Absolutely to recommend.

Toolbox of high-performance APIs and a forthcoming React “screen-stack” dashboard that turns common web-ops headaches into single-call solutions.

  • Architected a server-stack of horizontally-scaling FastAPI micro-services on Railway, backed by AWS Lambda workers for burst workloads.
  • Designed a data-model layer with Pydantic v2 + Directus CMS to cut CRUD boilerplate by ~70 % while keeping schema evolution explicit.
  • Implemented Playwright browser clusters with context recycling, memory watchdogs, and Prometheus probes to keep per-request RAM < 120 MB.
  • Current API functionality: status code checking, full screen webpage screenshots, favicon extraction, website crawling, image compression, broken link checkers, html code extractors, redirect chain audit tools, etc.
