I started DigitalPlat when I was 15.

At the time, I wasn't trying to build a company or a platform. I just wanted to understand how the internet actually works, not from tutorials, but by running real systems myself. DNS, domains, and infrastructure: I wanted to see what happens when things break, scale, and get used by real people.

What began as a small experiment slowly turned into something people relied on.

At first, it was a few developers testing things. Then small projects started using it. Then communities. Over time, it grew into infrastructure serving hundreds of thousands of users across more than 190 countries.

Today, DigitalPlat operates production systems 24/7. It provides domain and DNS infrastructure used by developers, students, and communities worldwide.

I built the system end-to-end, including the DNS infrastructure, backend systems, and management platform. As usage grew, the focus shifted from just building to operating: keeping systems stable, handling abuse, and making sure the platform remains usable at scale.

The idea behind DigitalPlat has always been simple: the internet should be accessible to everyone.

Not as a product, not locked behind pricing tiers, but as infrastructure people can build on freely. That idea shaped every decision, from keeping services open to focusing on reliability over features to designing systems that can actually run long-term.

Alongside DigitalPlat, I also work on infrastructure and systems projects through EdgeAlphix, as well as several open-source initiatives focused on developer tooling, container systems, and operating environments.

I'm still building. Still learning. Still scaling.
