The Problem

Enterprise SD-WAN gear costs $5K-$20K and requires network engineers to configure. Small businesses and home users were stuck with consumer routers that couldn't handle VPN traffic or multi-site setups. The gap: no cloud-managed SD-WAN for people who don't speak Cisco.

My Contribution

As the sole full-stack developer at this startup, I built a React Native app for router control, a Next.js admin portal, and a NestJS backend for real-time monitoring. I designed the WebSocket architecture for live network stats, implemented Stripe billing, and wired up AWS for device provisioning. 17 months, ~300 active users, zero platform downtime.
