Backend — JVM services, distributed systems, messaging, and the parts of a database that decide whether it survives load.
Platform — Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and the kind of internal tooling that makes other engineers faster.
AI engineering — LLMs as a daily working tool, and increasingly building with them: retrieval, evaluation, and knowing when not to use one.
I contribute to open source when something I depend on needs fixing — service meshes, JVM libraries, test tooling.
- deal-hunter — describe a good deal in YAML, and a scoring engine reads the listings for you. Python, SQLite.
- currency-account-service — Kotlin/Spring service with retries and caching over an external exchange-rate API.
- istio-multiclusters-minikube — run an Istio multi-cluster mesh locally on minikube.
- contour-detection — C++/OpenCV contour recognition.
