0xdeadd - Overview
Clint Phillips
Operator-engineer. I write the code that runs my own business and clients' businesses too.
Currently shipping book.zanysplayworld.com, a production booking and operations platform for an indoor play center I help run in Newnan, Georgia. Built solo on Next.js, Stripe, and Postgres.
Live numbers (180 days in production):
- $76,725 processed through Stripe
- 1,647 customers served
- 2,105 paid bookings completed
- 0.05% refund rate (1 of 1,976)
Featured projects

What I build
- Stripe integrations. Checkout, Payment Intents, Terminal (in-person card readers), Connect, webhooks. Idempotent, reconciled, refundable.
- Next.js production builds. App Router, server components, edge auth, Postgres. The kind where the demo and the prod are the same code.
- Postgres rescues. Schema cleanup, index strategy, migrations that ship under load without a maintenance window.
- Operator-grade systems. Code shipped under the same person who has to live with the bugs.
Open source
Past 30 days: 16 contributions across 11 projects (3 merged, 7 in flight, plus 1 patch to the Linux kernel via LKML). Mix of one-line typo patches and substantive features. The workflow practice across submission cultures (GitHub, LKML email, GitLab MR, direct-to-maintainer) matters as much as the code.
