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.

building  ->  rostra - an all-in-one discord bot
also      ->  argus - prometheus/otel metrics for discord.py
learning  ->  observability: opentelemetry + prometheus

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

Aegis   _TypeScript

Self-hosted SaaS access governance: an explainable access graph for identities, entitlements, reviews, evidence, and governed workflows. It is intentionally read-only in v1.

URSA   _Kotlin

A native, privacy-first Android companion for Uptime Kuma. It delivers real-time monitor status, heartbeat history, and FOSS push notifications without Firebase or a relay.

Rostra   _TypeScript

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

argus   _Python

Operational Prometheus and OpenTelemetry for discord.py: one-line instrumentation for latency, command timings, gateway health, cache stats, and a live dashboard.
