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

Focus: graceful failure, fast recovery, and zero drama.
- π Commucat (OSS) β private, encrypted, federated messenger.
- βοΈ Rust utilities β cryptographic experiments and network tooling.
- π¬ Side projects β 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 itβs hard to do, itβs probably worth doing.
