Backend & Infrastructure. Mostly .NET and Python. Heavy focus on Docker internals, CI/CD pipelines, and orchestration APIs.

Deep diving into Vector databases (Chroma, Qdrant) and optimizing Docker Engine internals for bare-metal servers to squeeze out every millisecond of boot time for ephemeral containers.

Building TrashDB (trashdb.dev): an orchestration API that provisions remote, ephemeral databases in 200ms for CI pipelines. Trying to make integration tests fast and kill Docker-in-Docker.

Ranting about slow CI/CD pipelines, Docker OOM crashes, or testing new DevTools. If your GitHub Actions runners are melting during integration tests, drop me a message and let's fix it.
