Diven Rastdus / Full-stack developer / Founder, Raedus Labs

I build software, and I ship the last mile.

Production apps in TypeScript, React Native, and Next.js — designed, built, tested on real hardware, and shipped to the store with pipelines that don't need me watching. I run Raedus Labs, a small studio putting open-source apps in people's hands.

Featured work

Two apps, live and in the open.

Both are open source, on Google Play, and built to stay out of your way. Real products, not demos — read every line if you want to.

Nudge

The app blocker that adds a pause, not a wall.

A privacy-first app blocker for Android. It slips a breathing exercise between you and the apps that eat your day — and asks for zero internet permission, so your data has nowhere to go. Native Kotlin, open source, free forever.

SoulSync

A mood tracker that never sends your data anywhere.

A free, open-source mood tracker for Android that keeps 100% of your data on device — no account, no cloud, no ads. A 10-point scale, a calendar heatmap, activity correlation, plain-language insights, and JSON you own. React Native, 1,000+ passing tests.

How I ship

Not just building — owning the whole path to production.

The interesting part isn't the code. It's everything between "it works on my machine" and "it's on a stranger's phone." That part is automated.

01 — Build

Full-stack, one language

TypeScript across the stack: React Native and Expo on mobile, Next.js on the web, Supabase and Python on the backend. Native Kotlin when Android demands it.

02 — Release

Automated release lanes

GitHub Actions CI/CD: push a version tag, the pipeline builds the signed artifact and ships it straight to the Play Store. No laptop in the loop, no manual upload.

03 — Verify

Tested before it ships

Invariant test suites gate every release. Maestro end-to-end flows run on physical Android hardware, and an automated visual-QA pass reviews the UI before each deploy.

04 — Write

I document what breaks

40+ deep-dive articles on production failure modes — the OR in an RLS policy that leaked every row, the analytics gotcha, the agent eval that lies. Lessons, not tutorials.

The studio

The real work lives at Raedus Labs.

Raedus Labs is where I build products people actually use — open-source apps and AI-native tools, shipped fast and maintained in the open. It's the through-line behind everything on this page.
