ZenBytes

Small, reliable software systems.

ZenBytes is a lightweight engineering studio focused on pragmatic tooling, infrastructure, and clean application architecture. We build with a bias toward simplicity and long-term maintenance.

Infrastructure

Opinionated setups: secure access, observability, and low-maintenance deployment pipelines.

Topics: TLS, reverse proxy, firewalling, service isolation

Developer Tools

Small tools that remove friction: release utilities, config generators, and workflow automation.

Topics: CLI tooling, automation, reproducibility

Application Architecture

Designing systems that scale in clarity first: interfaces, boundaries, and predictable operations.

Topics: modularity, APIs, performance, reliability

Engineering notes

Short write-ups about deployment tradeoffs, network tooling, and keeping systems boring. Updates are intentionally infrequent.

• 2026 — Hardening a small VPS without over-engineering • 2025 — Building predictable deploys: systemd + health checks • 2025 — DNS, TLS, and why “simple” usually wins
