## Open source

- [hitlimit](https://github.com/JointOps/hitlimit-monorepo): rate limiting for Node.js and Bun (`@joint-ops/hitlimit`, `@joint-ops/hitlimit-bun`). 8 storage backends, zero dependencies in the core, adapters for 6 frameworks, tiered limits and auto-ban. About 3.3K npm downloads a month.
- [bunWay](https://github.com/JointOps/bunway): an Express-compatible web framework on Bun. 26 built-in middleware, zero dependencies, 2,423 tests, 97%+ Express parity.
- [kaput](https://github.com/JointOps/kaput): zero-config graceful shutdown for Node.js (`@joint-ops/kaput`). Auto-detects Express, Fastify, Prisma, Redis, BullMQ, Mongoose and Knex, and serves `/health` and `/healthz`.

## Work

- Honeycomb Protocol: Web3 game infrastructure on Solana. Shayan built its GraphQL-to-SDK generator, which produces SDKs in 4 languages (JavaScript, C# for Unity, C++ for Unreal Engine, Godot). Honeycomb's state compression makes on-chain game state 1000x or more cheaper while keeping it verifiable.
- GameShift: NestJS aggregation services, indexers, WebSockets and in-game payment APIs.
- Solana NFT communities: smart contracts in Anchor/Rust, with GraphQL, Node and React around them, for Sol Patrol, The Fracture, BONK and Mad Lads. Later work reaches into Rust, gRPC and digital asset tooling.
