What I do
I build full-stack applications and the infrastructure that supports them. I prefer understanding the complete system rather than limiting myself to one part of the stack.
(About)
Franklyn Onye
Full-Stack Software Developer
Full-stack software developer building modern web applications, backend systems, and AI-powered products. Works across frontend, backend, databases, infrastructure, and deployment, with particular experience in Svelte/SvelteKit, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, PocketBase, Docker, and real-time systems.
About
Franklyn approaches software development as a continuous process of building, investigating, learning, and improving. Focus is not only on making software work, but on understanding why it works and how to make it better.
Interests extend beyond the web stack into event-driven architecture, RAG, vector search, distributed systems, and AI engineering. He learns primarily by building, investigating unfamiliar problems deeply, and turning unfamiliar technologies into working systems.
Understand the system, not just the framework.

How I work
My approach
Naturally curious about how things work underneath the abstraction. I learn technologies by actually building with them.
How I learn
By building, investigating unfamiliar problems deeply, and turning unfamiliar technologies into working systems.
Beyond the code
Resourcefulness, independent learning, adapting across environments, and figuring out unfamiliar technical problems.
Where I'm going
Continuing toward becoming a stronger full-stack and systems-oriented software engineer, with emphasis on backend architecture, distributed systems, AI engineering, and infrastructure.
Areas of experience
Architecture & Systems
Explored event sourcing, projections, saga patterns, real-time applications, and collaborative systems.
Booking & Business Applications
Web applications involving booking systems and websites, including deployment, domain configuration, server management, Docker, database hosting, email delivery, authentication, production environments, and application performance.
PocketBase & Backend Systems
PocketBase for authentication, collections, content management, user data, application state, file storage, and backend APIs. Explored its permission model and administrative architecture.
Infrastructure & Deployment
Linux, Ubuntu, WSL, Docker, cloud servers, DigitalOcean, Git, environment configuration, production deployments, and server administration. Debugged memory limits, Docker config, dependencies, networking, SMTP restrictions, and database connectivity.
