Hey, I'm Tobi: SDE II at Amazon in New York. Rust, Go, TypeScript. Now building WingWrangler; offline, aviation and CrossFit. Visit tobhoster.com

I build backend systems and the infrastructure they run on.

Always happy to talk Rust, infrastructure or aviation software.

Founder track

WingWrangler · my current startup
Management software for flight schools and flying clubs: scheduling, fleet, maintenance, logbooks, billing and weather. Happy to talk about it on a call.

Razu · co-founder & CTO · logo on the New Jersey Devils' helmets
A music-collaboration platform that gives creators tools to make and enhance songs together, virtually. I built the backend in Go and TypeScript and led a team of four engineers across time zones. Razu won the Devils' Buy Black program, presented by Prudential.

JoatSpace · founder · @JoatSpace
A platform connecting freelancers and small businesses with clients in Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya. I built the backend and the iOS and Android apps, and mentored a team of five interns.

Featured work

Global Trade Compliance at AWS · TypeScript · Step Functions · DynamoDB
At AWS I worked on the platform that moves parts and purchase orders from suppliers to data centers and between facilities. It automates customs documentation, Incoterms classification and export-license screening across 40+ countries, at a 99.9% compliance rate. More on tobhoster.com

flinch · open source · Rust · MIT
Keeps your Plex library under 80% full, and never deletes what your household still wants. For every movie and season it forecasts the chance nobody plays it in the next 30 days, then frees the least-missed gigabytes first.
Design calls: missing evidence means keep. It learns from Plex, Tautulli, Radarr and Sonarr history, but only trusts a learned model once it beats the built-in one on a daily replay of its own past. flinch only decides; Maintainerr does the deleting.

Homelab · Kubernetes · GitOps
A small Kubernetes cluster at home, managed from Git. It runs 20+ self-hosted apps, and it's where flinch started.

Also on the bench: tobhoster.com, my editor-themed portfolio in Astro and TypeScript with a ⌘ K command palette, and a USCIS civics test trainer that turns all 128 questions of the 2025 test into spaced-repetition flashcards.
