Day 1: The Kickoff - Build in Public Campaign by Mehran Shahmiri in Kashmir

I run a fiber internet company called ViberNet in Srinagar, Kashmir.

We lay fiber. We connect homes. We handle billing, support, field operations.

And for 2 years, I wrote every line of software that runs it.

The NOC portal. Customer onboarding. Payment flows. RADIUS integrations. OLT monitoring. A Flutter app for customers.

Not because I couldn't hire someone. Because no off-the-shelf software understood how an ISP in Kashmir actually works.

So I built it.

That experience, operating a business AND building its software, is what I now bring to other businesses through my agency, OpenLoop.

Over the next 30 days, I'm going to build in public. Share what I'm working on, what I've learned, and how I think about software as an operator, not just a developer.

Follow along if that sounds useful.
