Building the backend systems behind AI-powered website creation @Dorik
Tech Stack
I'm a software engineer at Dorik, an AI-powered website builder that lets anyone create a professional website from a single text prompt — no code required. Dorik competes with platforms like Webflow and Wix, and serves thousands of users worldwide.
I joined as a junior engineer in late 2022 and grew into a full software engineer role, working across the backend — APIs, database architecture, and cloud infrastructure, and the systems that make real-time website generation possible.
When I'm not writing production code, I write about the tools and workflows I use. I think sharing what you learn is one of the best ways to grow as an engineer.
Core technologies I work with daily in production at Dorik.
Primary runtime for scalable backend services
Type-safe development across the entire codebase
Web framework for APIs and middleware
Flexible query layer for complex data requirements
Document database for content-heavy applications
In-memory caching and session management
Complex data processing and reporting
Schema architecture for scale and maintainability
Core cloud platform for compute, storage, and serverless
Containerization for consistent dev and production environments
Automated testing, building, and deployment pipelines
Application health, error tracking, and performance metrics
Distributed system architecture
Stateless web service design
Model-View-Controller architecture
Robust error management strategies
Unit, integration & end-to-end tests
Automated build & deployment workflows
Collaborative quality assurance
Structured logs & error tracking
JWT & OAuth implementation
Input sanitization & validation
Query & response optimization
Application health & performance tracking
My professional journey building backend systems for a growing SaaS platform.

Set up stable, HTTPS webhook URLs pointing to your local machine using Cloudflare Tunnel. No more ngrok URL rotations on every restart.
I replaced Docker Desktop with Colima on macOS — lighter on resources, faster to start, and fully compatible with Docker CLI and Compose.
