Backend engineer with 13+ years in production systems. Currently building AI-powered tools for prediction markets, running a self-hosted homelab that probably has too many containers, and finishing an MSc in AI. Currently into: system engineering, 0-1, LLMs, self-hosting, and whatever I’m figuring out this week because of the rabbit hole I got into.
