Pavel Osadchuk

Pavel Osadchuk is the quintessential modern engineer, blending over a decade of senior enterprise experience with a relentless drive for indie innovation. Operating under the banner of XAKPC Dev Labs, he has cultivated a prolific portfolio that spans from developer utilities like htmx-pal for Visual Studio to sophisticated AI tools like AnyMCP.io and the GitHub AI Token Price Calculator. His work is defined by a 'bias for self-hosting and simplicity,' ensuring that even his most complex 'useless' software is built on a foundation of solid engineering and clean user experience.

Recently, Pavel has been pushing the boundaries of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and desktop integration, shipping Wizible for Windows Widgets and TextBeam for privacy-focused OCR. His nomadic lifestyle in Korea provides a unique backdrop to his 'vibe-coding' philosophy, where he maintains a critical eye on the tech industry—often pointing out that human error, rather than AI sentience, is the true hurdle for the future. Whether he is optimizing ASP.NET forms with htmx or hiking through new terrains, Pavel embodies the spirit of a builder who values functionality over hype.

With a deep-rooted expertise in the .NET ecosystem, his contributions to the community include technical deep-dives into WinUI 3 and Blazor. His projects reflect a genuine passion for creating tools that he himself wants to use, resulting in a diverse ecosystem of apps that range from restaurant digital menus to advanced website connectivity diagnostics via netdiag.dev. His ability to ship high-quality products single-handedly makes him a formidable force in the indie hacking scene.
