I build and operate production software across the stack — from backend systems and APIs to cloud infrastructure, deployment automation, CI/CD, and AI-powered developer tooling.
Currently, I work at Elestio, building and maintaining software and infrastructure that makes deploying and managing open-source applications across cloud environments simpler.

Databases & Tools
I work across software engineering and infrastructure, with a focus on building reliable systems and improving the developer and operational experience.
My work includes:
- Platform and product development
- Backend APIs and integrations
- Deployment workflows
- CI/CD automation
- Cloud provider integrations
- Docker-based infrastructure
- Infrastructure automation
- Production troubleshooting
- Open-source application integrations
- AI-powered DevOps tooling
I'm particularly interested in how AI can improve software engineering and infrastructure operations.
Currently exploring:
- AI Agents
- Agentic AI
- RAG
- MCP
- AI-assisted development
- AI-powered DevOps
- Developer automation
- Infrastructure troubleshooting
- LLM-powered applications
I write about the engineering problems that usually happen behind the scenes — the things that don't always make it into the changelog.
Topics include:
- Docker & Kubernetes
- Linux & infrastructure
- Node.js
- CI/CD
- Cloud engineering
- Databases
- Production debugging
- Open-source software
- AI, RAG & agents
- Developer productivity
