Always forward, no retreat. But with a little meow.
I design and build distributed systems ready for real production.
Main languages: Golang ๐น and Rust ๐ฆ.
15+ years in software engineering and DevOps / Kubernetes (โธ๏ธ).
Focus: high availability, security, and elegant simplicity.
- ๐ง Architecture & Design โ from concept to deployment.
- โ๏ธ Reliability & HA โ graceful degradation, idempotent flows.
- ๐ ๏ธ Platform Engineering โ CI/CD, GitOps, scalable developer experience.
- ๐ Security by Default โ zero trust, defense in depth, verified builds.
- ๐ Observability โ logs, metrics, and traces that speak truth.
- Senior Architect at Data Secrets Lab โ I designed and implemented the backend and built a platform for ML engineers.
- Creator of Commucat โ an ultra-secure p2p messenger with strong privacy and zero metadata leakage.
โEven cats deserve encrypted meows.โ
| Tier | Stack |
|---|---|
| ๐ Primary | Golang, Rust |
| ๐ Also Used | TypeScript (Next.js, React), Kotlin, Swift, and a bit of C# |
No endless tech stacks โ only what really matters.
- Distributed-first mindset โ events, queues, and safe retries.
- Operational discipline โ GitOps, immutable infra, canaries, autoscaling.
- Data clarity โ strong contracts, deterministic migrations.
- Resilience โ recover, retry, never break silently.
- Security โ everything encrypted, nothing trusted by default.

Focus: graceful failure, fast recovery, and zero drama.
- ๐ Commucat (OSS) โ private, encrypted, federated messenger.
- โ๏ธ Rust utilities โ cryptographic experiments and network tooling.
- ๐ฌ Side projects โ from pastebins to protocol explorers.
- High availability is not optional.
- Simplicity is hard, but sacred.
- Observability is part of design.
- Security is a habit, not a feature.
- If itโs hard to do, itโs probably worth doing.
