I've been a software engineer for years, starting in backend development. Today I'm passionate about AI, machine learning and low-level systems: understanding how things really work, then making them better.

What I use,
day to day.

Projects.
Building what's next.

I work on several projects at once: one out in the open, the rest private and still taking shape.

Impulsum.

A community-built preservation network bringing classic experiences back online.

It started as a technical challenge. It turned into a great team, a growing community and friendships I didn't expect.

These are private and still moving, so there are no links yet. Happy to talk about any of them.

Automation & bots

Discord bots and scripts that take the repetitive parts off my plate, and off the community's.
