<About Me/>

I work at the crossroads of software engineering and data-driven products. I lead the technical strategy for complex, data-intensive applications, using PHP and Docker for core stability and NestJS/Python for machine learning pipelines. My role spans the full engineering lifecycle, from overseeing R&D to managing infrastructure Outside the IDE, I bring the same discipline to running, pushing my limits on long distances just as I do in complex engineering projects. And yes, of course I love racoons.
