Speaking
I talk. A lot. Preferably on stages — DevTalks, TechSummit, and anywhere else with a mic and a distributed system worth complaining about. These are my favorite rants:
Conference speaker — DevTalks, TechSummit, and community meetups. Talks that turn production war stories into practical lessons on architecture, platforms, and people. Topics I cover:
consensus, failure modes, and everything that breaks at 3 AM
golden paths, internal platforms, and infra teams developers actually like
from a handful to 50+ through hypergrowth — org design without the drama
LLMs and agents put to work where they actually pay off
a love letter to the stack that quietly runs the world
message brokers, clean boundaries, and systems that age well
