Roblox Programmer & Luau Engineer

Hey, I'm Realistic. I've been writing Luau on Roblox since 2016. Most of my work centers around developer tooling, telemetry, and admin frameworks—including Realistic Analytics, Kohl's Admin, and TJW's Admin House.

Projects

Realistic Analytics

Creator • Telemetry & Crash Reporting

I built Realistic Analytics to solve two common issues with live Roblox games: HttpService hitting 429 rate limits, and server crashes wiping out session playtime before data saves. It queues telemetry events in-memory, saves progress at 5-minute checkpoints, and filters out AFK idling so playtime graphs reflect actual engagement.

It also includes a non-intrusive ProcessReceipt wrapper to track Robux revenue without breaking product grants, and crash breadcrumbs that log the player's last actions before an error for quick bug reproduction.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Analytics = require(ReplicatedStorage.AnalyticsModule).init({
    debugMode = false,
    useRobloxAnalytics = true,
    webhookSecret = "webhook", -- Safely sourced from Roblox Secrets
})

-- Intercept DevProducts for Robux revenue metrics without breaking purchases
Analytics:WrapProcessReceipt(function(receiptInfo)
    print(string.format("Player %d bought product %d", receiptInfo.PlayerId, receiptInfo.ProductId))
    return Enum.ProductPurchaseDecision.PurchaseGranted
end)

-- Leave breadcrumbs before risky actions to diagnose errors
Analytics:AddBreadcrumb(player, "ClickedPurchaseCrate", "ui")
Kohl's Admin

Kohl's Admin

Major Contributor & Moderator

I'm a major contributor to the modern rewrite of Kohl's Admin in Luau. I work primarily on the reactive UI, command autocomplete, role-based permission tiers (RBAC), and the addon system that allows developers to register custom commands without editing core framework files.

TJW's Admin House

TJW's Admin House

Contributor & Council Member • 11.2M+ Visits

Active since 2017, TJW's Admin House is an iconic sandbox with over 11 million visits running a heavily customized Adonis admin system. As a Council Member, I help evaluate community-submitted scripts, maintain rank permissions, and patch sandbox exploits. I also created custom commands and an on-screen virtual keyboard so mobile players can execute PC script sequences.

Volute is an independent UK studio building Roblox experiences played by millions.

Discord Ticket Bot

Creator • Support Suite (Branding TBD)

An end-to-end Discord support bot designed for active communities and studios. It supports both private forum threads and legacy category channels, handles round-robin staff assignment, auto-closes abandoned tickets, and runs an internal Express server to host searchable HTML transcripts and customer satisfaction ratings.

It also includes on-demand synchronized voice channels, canned snippet replies, anti-spam ticket limits, cross-ticket staff notes, and an event listener that detects manual channel deletions to prevent database corruption.
