I'm the founder of Apnotic - a bootstrapped, privately held company focused on secure information distribution.

We build Password Pusher, a platform used by thousands of organizations to securely distribute passwords, files and sensitive data.

I also build HiveMQtt and run Awesome MQTT - a curated collection of MQTT brokers, tools, libraries and resources.

Since 2011, I've built and maintained Password Pusher - a secure platform for sharing sensitive information with self-destructing links and full audit trails. Trusted by thousands of companies worldwide.

By the numbers:

• 100M+ secrets securely shared
• 345k+ monthly active users at pwpush.com
• 15+ years in production
• 31+ language translations
• 99.99% historical uptime

The platform features AES-256 encryption, automatic expiration, passphrase protection, team collaboration and a powerful API. Available as a hosted SaaS (US & EU regions) or fully self-hosted via Docker/Kubernetes. White-label ready with 26 bundled themes.

I also build and maintain HiveMQtt - the official C# MQTT client for .NET by HiveMQ. It's fully MQTT 5.0 compliant and designed for enterprise-grade IoT deployments.

Features include async/await patterns, TLS/SSL security, WebSocket support and compatibility with .NET 6, 7, 8 and 9.

I also curate Awesome MQTT - a collection of MQTT resources, brokers, tools and libraries.

Instana - APM instrumentation packages providing automatic distributed tracing, metrics and profiling for production applications.

TraceView / Oboe - Application performance monitoring for Tracelytics (now AppOptics). Low-level tracing instrumentation for Ruby applications.

More than 8 years building performance instrumentation for Instana & Tracelytics (both acquired - now IBM Instana & SolarWinds AppOptics).

Beyond that, I've built embedded systems, distributed file systems, implemented protocols and architected SaaS products.
