Hi There, I am Software Engineer with 18+ years experience. On my day job I am mostly working with Scala and the Typelevel stack to build backend services: internal and external facing APIs. I’ve also done a little bit of Java, TypeScript, and lots of PHP, JS, Perl back in the days.

When I have free time I like to learn and build new things, as my profession is not just work, but it is a hobby as well. You can find my projects on the Projects page. In a nutshell: I learn and use mainly Rust and Clojure, and sometimes Go for fun and learn.

I also self-host a bunch of services (Email, Git, Minecraft Servers, a Kubernetes Cluster, etc…) on different servers, and have a few Raspberry Pis running my homelab. I am a happy nix/NixOS user on server/Raspberry Pi, but I work on macOS.

I have some other hobbies too, that don’t involve computers! I am a sci-fi geek: Star Wars, Star Trek. Probably boardgame geek too, also a hobby photographer and backyard astronomer. I love cycling and hiking.
