Backend & Platform Engineering specialized in Go , focused on performance, clarity, and maintainability.
Strong DevOps mindset: I design clean backend architectures, automate infrastructure, and validate everything inside a real-world homelab environment.
Currently exploring Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and cloud-native operations to bridge backend development with scalable deployments.
I also maintain and contribute to OSS projects focused on developer tooling and backend platforms.

I design and operate a self-hosted environment with:

• Docker & Proxmox for containerized services
• Traefik reverse proxy with automated TLS
• Cloudflare Tunnels for secure remote access
• Observability: Prometheus + Grafana dashboards
• AdGuardHome for DNS and filtering
• Synology NAS for storage, backup, and VPN
• DevOps stack: Gitea, Drone CI, Uptime Kuma, Gotify, Mealie, Outline, Homepage

Everything runs on Proxmox today; migration to Kubernetes (K3s) is underway.

• Navire:
  Ongoing OSS project aiming to become a distributed multi-channel notification orchestrator built in Go.
  Designed around a Core + Dispatch architecture with an agnostic pub/sub transport (starting with Redis Streams), multi-channel adapters (Slack, Gotify, ntfy, Discord, and more planned), and an observability-first approach.
  The project will be open-sourced once the v0.0.1 MVP is complete and ready for release.

• Keg:
  CLI tool to bootstrap and manage a local development environment with Go.
  Automates ZSH, Homebrew, and packages setup. Persistance via a YAML config file.

• homelab-blueprint:
  A documented architecture for self-hosted services on Proxmox, Docker, and Traefik. Includes monitoring, networking, and access control.

• dotfiles-blueprint:
  Opinionated, modular dotfiles with sane defaults, focused on productivity and minimalism.

• Goslaw:
  A Go library for functional operations on slices, inspired by JavaScript's array methods. Provides a fluent API for common slice manipulations.
