Autodarts

Automatic dart scoring, played online around the world. I built the infrastructure behind it, and I work across the product too.

The project.

Autodarts turns a normal dartboard into a connected one: cameras detect each dart, the board scores itself, and players can play each other online. That means hardware in people’s homes, a platform that has to stay up while matches are being played, and data arriving all the time.

What I did.

I built the infrastructure from the ground up: Kubernetes deployments, monitoring, and incident management with incident.io. I run a database that grows by around 100 GB a month, ClickHouse for analytics, and the GPU servers our AI models run on, held together with tooling I wrote myself. It’s a small team, so I’ve also worked on firmware, streaming and product decisions.

The outcome.

A platform that keeps up with a fast-growing product, with the monitoring and incident process to spot problems and fix them quickly. Working on both the devices and the platform means I understand how a change in one affects the other.

I only take on a few projects at a time, so I’m selective about what I say yes to. I read every application myself and reply by email.
