Two decades in software development, but it started much earlier - tinkering with operating systems, exploring networking, the usual teenage obsession with hacking and breaking things to understand them. That curiosity evolved into making better software, embracing devops culture, and gradually learning that technical rigor matters most when it solves actual problems.

Turns out asking the right questions is harder than writing the right code. Who knew?

Outside of work, I’m usually planning the next trip, hunting for live music, catching films, or heading to the mountains. I shoot film when I remember to load the camera, though digital is admittedly more forgiving at 5,895 meters - yes, I’ve been to Kilimanjaro’s summit. The view doesn’t quite compensate for the altitude headache, but I’d probably do it again.

Travel, music, cinema, photography, mountaineering, sports - they keep me curious. And curiosity, it turns out, makes you better at everything else.
