Service · Browser Extensions & Plugin Platforms

Extensions that survive the sandbox, the review queue, and MV3.

Extensions are product engineering under someone else’s rules: Manifest V3 kills your background process whenever it likes, storage and auth run inside a sandbox, and every release ships through a review queue you don’t control. I build extensions daily at Writer, shipped the LottieFiles plugin portfolio across eight-plus host surfaces, and built two wallet extensions where the sandbox was also a security boundary.

Sound familiar?

The situations this service exists for.

  • Your product needs a browser extension and nobody on the team has shipped one
  • An existing extension breaks with every Chrome release or MV3 change
  • Auth and token storage inside the extension sandbox feel improvised — because they are
  • Marketplace reviews keep bouncing releases and hotfixes take weeks to reach users

Scope

What the work covers.

  • Chrome/MV3 extension architecture: service workers, content scripts, messaging
  • State that survives service-worker termination — persistence and rehydration
  • Secure auth flows for sandboxed contexts: system-browser OAuth, token isolation
  • Cross-platform plugin architecture: shared core, host-specific adapters
  • Thin-client design so behavior changes ship server-side, not through review
  • Review-queue strategy: permissions hygiene, versioned contracts, staged rollouts

Outcomes

What you end up with.

  • An extension architecture that treats host constraints as design inputs, not surprises
  • Auth and storage a security review can approve
  • Releases that stop being hostage to the review queue

Engagement formats

How to buy this.

Technical Strategy Session

60–90 minutes

A paid working session on one defined problem: an architecture choice, an AI feature plan, a performance question, a build-vs-buy call. You bring the context; I bring pattern recognition from 13+ years of shipping in situations like yours.

Product & Architecture Diagnostic

3–5 days

A focused investigation of one high-impact problem. I read the code, profile the system, interview the people closest to the pain, and separate symptoms from causes.

Start here →

Implementation or Rescue Sprint

2–4 weeks, fixed scope

I take hands-on ownership of the most critical part of the work — writing production code, making the blocking decisions, and coordinating with your product, design, and backend people until it ships.
