Building a Platform Bigger Than Myself

When I started working on ChannelFind, I thought I had decent coding skills.

But building a scalable platform tracking over 500 million YouTube channels was a completely different challenge.

Asynchronous tasks became a nightmare, speed optimization was critical, and every millisecond mattered.

I went from feeling like an “80/100” developer to realizing I was more like “20/100.”

But each struggle made me stronger. This journey transformed my understanding of development, scaling, and problem-solving on a whole new level.
