I love crafting Software and mentoring peers.
After completing my studies in Theoretical Physics, I leaped into Software Engineering in 2019, turning a long-time hobby of tinkering with Linux, LaTeX, and Wolfram into a fulfilling career. I'm passionate about building scalable, distributed systems, set up automation, and bringing structure to complex data problems.
💼 As a Big Data Engineer at AgileLab, I work at the intersection of DevOps, Data Engineering, and Platform Development, crafting integrations for banking and insurance clients using tools like Kubernetes, Airflow, Kafka, Spark, and React.
🧠 My physics background sharpened my analytical thinking. When I step out of my (Zsh) shell, I apply it to write clean, domain-driven, testable code in Python, Java, TypeScript, and Scala.
🚀 I enjoy tinkering with tooling and infrastructure (Helm, Terraform, Jenkins, GCP, AWS) and am always eager to streamline developer experience, improve observability, and bring DevOps best practices to teams.
🧪 I switch SQL dialects as projects demand and have experience across OLTP, OLAP, NoSQL, and graph databases.
🎤 Giving back to the community, I mentor fellow engineers by crafting tech articles. You'll find me around local meetups and conferences about testing, observability, and API design–occasionally speaking (see talks). Not as much as I wish to, I try to contribute to open-source projects every now and again.
⚙️ Currently leveling up in Rust, Go, and Lua. And yes, I still typeset in LaTeX, but I’m excited to give Typst a try.
