Backend engineer · Python · Go · C · Rust

I'm a backend developer with five years of Python experience, working mostly on REST APIs, microservices and distributed systems.

Day to day: FastAPI, Flask, asyncio, Celery and RabbitMQ, with PostgreSQL, ClickHouse and Redis underneath. Docker and Kubernetes with Helm, CI/CD on GitLab CI and Jenkins, and observability through OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Prometheus and Grafana.

Beyond Python: Go, some C, and Rust, which I'm learning now. Open source and language design fascinate me, and one day I'll build my own little toy compiler or interpreter :)

This is where I'll write about lessons from production and things I think other developers will find useful.
