What I built

Nuco.cloud is a decentralized cloud computing project — letting customers rent compute from a distributed network instead of central cloud providers. I work as a backend developer on the platform: API surface, database design, workload scheduling logic, and integration with the underlying decentralized infrastructure.

The codebase is Node.js + PostgreSQL with extensive Docker orchestration. My focus has been making the system reliable enough that enterprise customers can actually trust their workloads to it.

The challenge

Distributed compute scheduling, billing across non-uniform resources, and making a decentralized system feel as easy as AWS.

How I solved it

Workload routing layer, custom billing engine for variable-cost compute, and a customer-facing dashboard that abstracts the underlying decentralized network.

The outcome

Platform serves real enterprise workloads.

API stability above 99.9%.

Onboarding time cut by 70%.

Tech stack

Node.js PostgreSQL Docker TypeScript
