Crafting digital tools
Crafting digital tools
with precision.
One guy, one laptop, and a habit of building the tools I wished already existed. Small, fast software for publishers and travellers — no ceremony, no bloat, no fifty features you’ll never touch.

/// The architecture
Built on modern primitives
I prefer these technologies as I have worked with them extensively: .NET Core services on Kubernetes, React and Tailwind on the front, Postgres underneath.

System.boot({
performance: 'maximum',
complexity: 'hidden',

deploy: async (project) => {
await Pipeline.optimize(project);

02 — Approach
How the lab works
One engineer, the entire stack, and 19 years of production systems behind the decisions.
Server to client, one pair of hands
I design and build every layer — data model, API, infrastructure, interface, and the pixels on top. Nothing gets thrown over a wall, so nothing gets lost crossing it: the person who chose the schema is the person who writes the CSS.
Deep in .NET, React, and the cloud
Depth over breadth. C# and .NET on the server, React and TypeScript on the client, Kubernetes and Postgres underneath. Long enough in each to reach for the sharp tool instead of the new one.
19+ years of industry, one independent lab
Since 2007 I’ve built cloud software professionally for international clients and employers — production systems, real stakes, someone else’s name on the door. Blue Paw Labs is that same craft, run on my own terms.
03 — About
One guy who likes building things
Just me, building software because I genuinely love technology — and because the tools I wanted mostly didn’t exist yet.
I don’t do complicated for the sake of it. Find the most direct honest route to the thing working, build that, then make it better once it’s real. That’s pretty much the whole method.

Whatever I’ve been figuring out lately — mostly infrastructure, security, and the occasional detour. It all lives over on rohanbuechner.com.

Secure Multi Git Remote
Setting up a local dev environment that handles multiple upstream git remotes, each with its own SSH key — with a twist.

AWS access tokens are old news. OpenID Connect is the better approach whenever you can reach for it — here’s the Terraform to get there.

Email and SMS 2FA aren’t good enough anymore, and better security shouldn’t be limited to people who work in tech.

Come say hello.
Early access, a question about one of the projects, or a plain “does this thing do X?” — it all comes straight to me, and I answer my own email.
