AI today writes code the way robots assemble cars: fast, at scale, tirelessly. But no one lets a robot design the chassis or sign off on the brakes. That part is still a human responsibility.

Who I am

I started working in 2016 while still studying, first as a sysadmin and then as a developer; my first full-time job came in 2021. I learned almost everything on my own and, over time, developed a precise idea of how software should be built. Not an idea about technologies: those change. An idea about method: what comes first, what comes after, and why the order is not negotiable.

I work with product companies: sometimes from scratch, sometimes on a system grown rigid over time that now fights every change. My ultimate goal is to make myself unnecessary: the system shouldn't depend on me to keep working.
