Joined Uniregistry as the third backend engineer. Spent six years there as the platform grew from a small early-stage startup into a domain registrar handling millions of domains, until it was acquired by GoDaddy in 2020.

Uniregistry was the only domain registrar offering first-class bulk operations on large domain portfolios — changing name servers across 10,000 domains in a single action, for example. No other registrar had this, which made Uniregistry the preferred home of large domain investors.

Work I’m most proud of

Integrated two expiring-domain platforms — Dynadot and GoDaddy — into Uniregistry’s auction stack. One of the auctions sold for over $20,000 and was covered by domain-industry news; the entire sale was profit for Uniregistry. The agility of this work directly contributed to GoDaddy’s decision to acquire Uniregistry.

Other work

The stack was Python on Pyramid + SQLAlchemy with PostgreSQL underneath, talking to registry operators over EPP XML. Most of my work was on the Registrar Core — extending it for new ccTLDs and the new Premium TLD model, plus the day-to-day surface of high-volume domain operations, transfers between registrars, and billing.

• Built the observability stack — InfluxDB metrics and Sentry error tracking, including the full Pyramid middleware integration. Worked directly with our sysadmins to stand up the supporting services.
• Implemented new ccTLD onboardings end-to-end: .us, .ca, .de, .cn and others. Each registry has its own EPP extensions and operational quirks.
• Maintained and extended Uniregistry’s pytest suite (~8000 tests) — fixtures, xdist parallelisation, plugin authoring.
