Programming Languages
Languages
C / C++ / C#
Primary languages. C++ remains my daily driver — fine-grained control, zero-cost abstractions, and unmatched versatility.
Python / Java
Extensive experience across ML pipelines, scientific computing, and enterprise application development.
Go / Rust
Fast and yet easy to write - my favorites for fast prototyping and small, yet powerful apps.
Scripting & other
Automation, web layer development, statistical computing, and shell-level systems work.
Markup & Formatting
Markup
Web markup & styling
Structuring and styling web content, from semantic HTML to modular SCSS architectures and static site generation — this site included.
Document & data formats
Technical writing, configuration, data interchange, and typeset document production.
Key Interests
Key Interests
Systems & performance
High-throughput server code, lock-free concurrency, and squeezing cycles — from profiler to linker.
Web backends & serialization
Building fast HTTP services and wiring them to databases and wire formats.
Testing & correctness
Writing reliable, testable code with clean mock boundaries and reproducible test suites.
Enterprise application development
Building production-grade web services with robust auth, logging, and deployment pipelines.
Modern HTTP services
Fast, safe server code across Go and Rust ecosystems — including services running in production, from REST APIs to WebSocket fanout.
ML & scientific computing
Prototyping models and numerical work, from raw tensors to full training pipelines.
DevOps
DevOps
Pipelines & automation
End-to-end pipeline design, infrastructure provisioning, and container orchestration at scale.
Monitoring & telemetry
Full-stack observability from metrics and logs to distributed traces and continuous profiling.
Infrastructure & delivery
PKI and certificate lifecycles, SSO, load balancing, DNS, and FTP/SFTP delivery in production environments.
Security testing
Static and dynamic analysis integrated into CI pipelines, plus adversarial exercises against the MITRE framework.
Cloud platforms
Deploying and operating workloads on major cloud providers professionally — with certifications in progress — and on self-managed Hetzner infrastructure privately.
Tools & Platforms
Tools & platforms
Source control
Branch strategies, code review workflows, and self-hosted repository management.
Networking & web infrastructure
Reverse proxies, firewalls, intrusion prevention, and full-stack backend API development.
Linux server administration
Hardening, encryption, intrusion detection, virtualization, backups, and self-hosted mail on own infrastructure.
Data stores
Relational, in-memory, embedded, and object storage across OLTP, caching, and telemetry use cases.
Build & package management
Configuring and maintaining build toolchains and dependency resolution across language ecosystems.
Application security
Secrets management, encryption, auth flow design, and WAF integration in production systems.
Project & team tooling
Issue tracking, knowledge management, and cross-team documentation workflows.
