Senior Software Engineer, mostly working on backend, distributed systems and integrations.
I like looking at the whole system, not just the application code: architecture, infrastructure, Linux, containers, databases, messaging — and whatever is needed to understand why something works (or doesn't).
I still like writing code. And breaking things to see how they work.

I play with technology. A lot.
Not everything I worked on is here. Actually, most of it isn't: private repositories, company projects, side projects, experiments, abandoned experiments, and probably something forgotten on an old hard drive.
Over the years I've jumped from backend to Linux, infrastructure, databases, distributed systems, frontend frameworks, static site generators and automation.
Sometimes because I needed to.
Sometimes because I was curious.

Software has an impact outside our screens too.
I'm interested in sustainable software, responsible tech, open source, digital sovereignty, diversity and the environmental impact of digital systems.
Sometimes I write about it. Sometimes I talk about it.
I've been speaking, mentoring, moderating and organizing tech/community events for a while.
