A backend Java cowboy and impossible algorithms adept, proficient in Kafka, K8s, and Mongo, I specialize in "IT battlefield medicine" and hotfixing systems in the most unlikely places. I’ve held various roles across IT consultancies, startups, and freelance gigs, and even taught at an engineering school. I’m a huge electronic music collector and have even run a music label.Early in my career, I worked on government contracts—which is how I ended up programming a good chunk of the embedded software for automated speed cameras. After Covid, I handled orders and logistics for Cultura, followed by a nuclear-sector project at EDF. I’m now working into occult stuff for Betclic.I appreciate people who write specs and those who aren't afraid to pop the hood. I love trolling the corporate "NPCs." I coined the phrase "coding like a bear" to describe being "in the zone," and I make a habit of swearing at my AI assistant in English.
