01 · ABOUT

I'm Astoris. I build backends and Discord bots - right now Rostra, an all-in-one moderation and automod bot, and argus, which adds Prometheus/OpenTelemetry metrics to discord.py. Mostly Python and TypeScript, with some Go, deployed on AWS, Cloudflare, and Porter.run.

I care about services that stay up and APIs that are boring to use. Still learning a lot of this as I go.

mostly Python and TypeScript these days.

04 · STATS, LIVE

rank and a year of activity - rendered to a static SVG every 12h by a GitHub Action (no view-time API calls, so it always loads). see .github/workflows/metrics.yml.

languages by share of bytes across every repo (this profile repo is skipped - it's HTML and takes an automated commit each week).

05 · A SNAKE, EATING MY CONTRIBUTIONS

regenerated every 6h by a GitHub Action. see .github/workflows/snake.yml.

Rostra &nbsp; TypeScript

An all-in-one Discord platform for moderation, server security, automod, tickets, applications, and community features — built as a fast, sharded service.

argus &nbsp; Python

        astoris [--building ] [--debugging ]
                [--avoiding ] [--shipping? eventually]

  DESCRIPTION
