Hydra

I built most of the hydra.bot web app in Vue and Nuxt, including premium subscriptions, and co-develop the Kotlin backend as its second-largest contributor. For the 2026 rebuild in Rust on Kubernetes, I lead the frontend, infrastructure and monorepo.

Founded by Jochen Segner, Hydra is a leveling, welcome and reaction-role bot serving 6.1M Discord servers as of November 2026.
