Always forward, no retreat. But with a little meow.

I design and build distributed systems ready for real production.
Main languages: Golang 🐹 and Rust 🦀.
15+ years in software engineering and DevOps / Kubernetes (☸️).
Focus: high availability, security, and elegant simplicity.

• 🧠 Architecture & Design — from concept to deployment.
• ⚙️ Reliability & HA — graceful degradation, idempotent flows.
• 🛠️ Platform Engineering — CI/CD, GitOps, scalable developer experience.
• 🔐 Security by Default — zero trust, defense in depth, verified builds.
• 📈 Observability — logs, metrics, and traces that speak truth.

• Senior Architect at Data Secrets Lab — I designed and implemented the backend and built a platform for ML engineers.
• Creator of Commucat — an ultra-secure p2p messenger with strong privacy and zero metadata leakage.

  “Even cats deserve encrypted meows.”

_{No endless tech stacks — only what really matters.}

• Distributed-first mindset — events, queues, and safe retries.
• Operational discipline — GitOps, immutable infra, canaries, autoscaling.
• Data clarity — strong contracts, deterministic migrations.
• Resilience — recover, retry, never break silently.
• Security — everything encrypted, nothing trusted by default.

_{Focus: graceful failure, fast recovery, and zero drama.}

• 🐈 Commucat (OSS) — private, encrypted, federated messenger.
• ⚙️ Rust utilities — cryptographic experiments and network tooling.
• 💬 Side projects — 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 it’s hard to do, it’s probably worth doing.
