What am I currently building ?
Devs Bounty
I’m currently designing Devs Bounty, a freelancer platform where developers can log in and get paid for approved pull requests.
The idea is similar to a monetised version of GitHub’s open-source contribution model, but focused on private, non–open-source projects. Instead of contributing for free, developers are rewarded financially for meaningful, reviewed code contributions.
Building Devs Bounty has pushed me to think deeply about:
-
Scaling a platform where multiple users upload and manage code repositories
-
Securely integrating with GitHub-style workflows
-
Designing fair and transparent mechanisms for paying developers for pull requests

AI Agent
I’m also exploring how to build an AI agent that can interact directly with recruiters and other business stakeholders who are interested in hiring my skills and services to build software systems.
The idea is for the agent to act as a first point of contact — answering common questions in a chat interface, explaining my experience and capabilities, and qualifying interest. When deeper discussion or clarification is needed, the agent would seamlessly notify me and hand over the conversation.
This has me thinking about how AI can be used not just for coding, but as a practical tool for professional representation, communication, and lead filtering, while still keeping a human in the loop.
Outstatic
I set up my CMS by reading the documentation of the open-source project Outstatic.
Initially, I attempted to host the project on AWS Amplify. However, after facing some challenges with the dev/ops work required to get Outstatic running, I opted to host it on Vercel instead. I created a subdomain, cms.byorn-playground.com to point to my Vercel-hosted CMS.
Currently, I am considering how to enable internet users to comment on my blogs to gather feedback. To address this, I started a discussion on the Outstatic open-source project to explore building a module that allows public user comments.
I have realised that this task will not be easy, especially since I want to authenticate users who comment on my blog posts. Therefore, I am currently focusing on developing this feature.
