Engineer / Architect / Builder

Building Systems
Not Just Software.

I specialize in the intersection of enterprise architecture and generative AI. My focus is on building resilient, scalable backend systems that can safely integrate autonomous reasoning.

Engineering Philosophy

Boring tech scales. I heavily favor proven technologies (PostgreSQL, Python, React) over the latest frameworks. Complexity should only be introduced when the domain demands it.

Security at the core. In the age of AI, prompt engineering cannot replace hard access controls. If your vector database doesn't support payload-level filtering, you are fundamentally insecure in a multi-tenant environment.

Observability over guessing. If a system goes down, I shouldn't have to SSH into a box to figure out why. Logs, metrics, and traces are first-class citizens in my architecture.

Execution Timeline

  • Hardware Proxmox VE / 64GB RAM / 2TB NVMe
  • Orchestration K3s (Kubernetes)
  • Monitoring Grafana / Prometheus
  • AI Local Ollama instance (Llama 3 8B)
  • Gateway Traefik + Cloudflare Tunnels

System Idle

When I'm not compiling code or debugging memory leaks, I'm usually out hiking in the mountains, brewing dangerously strong pour-over coffee, or reading hard science fiction. I believe time completely disconnected from a screen is the ultimate debugger.
