welcome

i'm a hacker in the original meaning of the word: a computer technology enthusiast.

my main focus is backend engineering in all its forms.
since 2017, go has been my primary programming language, and i still use it for most of my work.

i started my professional career in 2012.
since then, i have worked on many different systems and solved quite a few business and engineering problems along the way.

some of the technologies i have worked with:

• javascript and node.js for backends and web applications
• c++ for high-load services and embedded systems
• gnu/linux for servers and system-level configuration
• ansible for keeping this configuration reproducible
• mongodb and sql databases for storing all kinds of data
• clickhouse for processing millions of metrics and events coming through kafka or rabbitmq
• kubernetes, from bare-metal clusters to eks
• helm, including the old tiller days
• gcp and aws, usually with some attention to keeping the bill under control
• jenkins and github actions for automating things i don't want to do manually

and, of course, quite a few other things that accumulated over the years.
