WHO
I love writing code, I am writing code on a daily basis, and I believe I will be still writing code ten years from now. I build things that scale. Over 25 years I've shipped enterprise platforms, ML-powered products, and — more recently — production generative AI systems: RAG pipelines, fine-tuned LLMs, multi-agent orchestration, and the infrastructure to run all of it reliably.
This blog covers what I find worth sharing — software engineering, architecture infrastructure, and Artificial Intelligence. Occasionally, endurance sports. I write everything myself. I use AI not to generate content for me, rather than guide my thinking in directions where you are mostly like to discover new ideas.
