Architecting Logic &
Driving Product Growth.

I am a pragmatic, clean-code focused Software Engineer with deep expertise in backend systems using C#/.NET, Go, and Node.js/NestJS, and modern frontends like Angular, React, and Flutter. I specialize in building high-performance architectures and responsive user interfaces, taking full ownership of features from database schema to UI.

Standard-heavy and language agnostic, I build scalable, secure architectures using Docker, DDD, and message queues, ensuring clean code, test automation, and robust quality delivery at every stage.

Flux: A Privacy-First, AI-Powered Language Learning Assistant

Bridging the gap between language learning and fluent reading, Flux is a "Self-Hosted Cloud" application. It leverages local LLMs (Ollama) and neural TTS to provide context-aware translations and an interactive audio experience, all while keeping data 100% private.

Why We're Finally Seeing AI-Generated Technical Debt

AI isn't creating technical debt.. poor engineering practices are. As AI generates more code than ever before, it's becoming easier to ship features quickly while it also makes to overlook architecture, intent, and long-term maintainability. The result isn't immediately visible, but months later it appears as difficult bugs, costly rewrites, and delayed delivery. This article explores why AI generated technical debt is becoming more common, why it's really an engineering problem rather than an AI problem, and how experienced developers can use AI to accelerate quality instead of accelerating chaos.
