About Me

I'm Pongsakorn Thipayanate, a -year-old self-taught developer from Thailand. I build things for the web with a focus on clean architecture and great developer experience.

What I Do

I craft type-safe, scalable applications using TypeScript and modern frameworks. My work spans from developer tools to full-stack applications—always with an emphasis on code quality and maintainability.

Some highlights:

Windsurf Installer — used by 3,300+ developers
Molly Factory — driving ~4,174 organic visits/month
geothai — npm package with 7,000+ downloads

How I Work

I believe good software comes from understanding problems deeply before writing code. I prefer simple solutions over clever ones, and I'm not afraid to delete code that doesn't serve a purpose.

When I'm not coding, I contribute to open-source projects and write about development on Medium.

TypeScript

const developer = {
  languages: ["TypeScript", "JavaScript", "Rust", "Go", "Python"],
  frontend: ["React", "Next.js", "Vue", "Astro", "Tailwind CSS"],
  backend: ["Node.js", "Elysia", "tRPC", "Drizzle", "Convex"],
  databases: ["PostgreSQL", "MySQL", "SQLite"],
  tools: ["Neovim", "Docker", "Git", "Vercel", "Cloudflare"],
};

How I Build an npm Package in 2026

A pragmatic take on building npm packages in 2026: stop over-configuring and optimize for long-term maintenance, not day-one setup. The post argues that configuration is debt, advocates a small, fast toolchain with strict defaults, and shows how fewer tools, enforced rules, and speed lead to packages that are easier to maintain years later.

From requirements.txt to pyproject.toml: My Python Evolution

A follow-up on modern Python development from a Node.js perspective. The post shows how the author replaced legacy Python workflows with a minimal, fast setup built around uv, Ruff, and pyproject.toml, achieving a TypeScript-like developer experience. By consolidating tools, enforcing strict typing with MyPy and Pydantic, and using Typer + Rich for polished CLIs, Python becomes simpler, faster, and more confidence-inspiring than its traditional tutorials suggest.

The Art of Clean Feature Architecture: What I Actually Build

A practical, experience-driven take on frontend architecture that rejects theory-heavy patterns in favor of simplicity that actually ships. The post advocates feature-based folders, minimal abstractions, and obvious boundaries that make code easy to understand, debug, and delete, even at 3 AM. The core message: boring, clear architecture scales better than clever designs and keeps teams fast, happy, and productive in real production work.
