Software engineer, DJ and photographer in New York. I build ticketing for parties, and on weekends I'm the one playing them. I also take on client sites with a small team of designers, writers and engineers.

First-generation Gambian American from Silver Spring, by way of LA. Hampton University alum.

Ticketing I built, ran and rebuilt. Counts are from LaRussell's shows alone.

Work

Offerbased

2026

A ground-up rebuild of TBA around name-your-price tickets. Organizers get paid the moment a fan buys, and fans can make an offer instead of paying a fixed price.

Decisions that mattered

Moved from MongoDB to Postgres. Orders, tickets and offers are separate rows, so buyers and attendees can't be confused anymore.
Offers place a $1 hold that saves the card. The full amount is only charged if the organizer accepts, so fans aren't frozen out of their money for a week.
Access rules live in the database with row-level security, instead of being re-checked in every API route.
Migrated TBA's events and order history, and redirected upcoming events so no fan link broke.

TBA

2020 to 2026

An event ticketing platform I founded, built and ran for six years. Checkout, door scanning, waitlists, SMS marketing and payouts for independent organizers.

Decisions that mattered

Moved bulk SMS out of the request cycle into a Redis queue worker once blasts got big enough to time out.
Switched door scanning to a paid scanning SDK, because speed in a dark line is what organizers actually judge.
Added Playwright end-to-end tests before refactoring checkout, which made the rebuild possible later.

Mixes

I DJ parties in New York. A night usually moves from hip-hop into afrobeats, then amapiano, dancehall and Latin, wherever the room wants to go.
