Principles

Five proverbs I actually work by

See the proverbs project →
  1. 01A deployed MVP is worth two prototyped.
  2. 02Dance like nobody is watching, code like everybody is.
  3. 03Today's fashion is tomorrow's legacy.
  4. 04Debugging becomes easier if you first admit that you are the problem.
  5. 05The best code is no code at all.

Beyond code

Photography

I shoot animals, landscapes, people, and street scenes. The camera is how I stay observant.

Fiction

I write AI-themed fiction and short stories when technical writing is not enough.

Podcasts & Games

I have opinions about Final Fantasy, narrative design, and the overlap between games and technology.

Capabilities

What I work with now

The stack changes. The throughline doesn't. I'm usually working where backend systems, product delivery, and AI workflows collide.

AI & LLM Systems

Measuring model output, routing it across providers, and trusting none of it by default.

Languages

Python on the backend, TypeScript for everything else, SQL wherever the data lives.

Platforms & Tools

Async services on Kubernetes, databases picked per job, front ends in React or Svelte.

Leadership

Setting technical direction and standards, then reviewing what ships against them.
