FPGA developer by day, DevOps engineer by night.

I strive to create high-quality, well-tested and documented solutions in established technologies while actively exploring the new and shiny. Deeply in love with functional programming (Scala ❤️) and declarative UI development (Flutter 👌). For tooling, automation, Docker and CI, I’m your man.

I feel the best in complex projects requiring both system-level and in-detail perspectives, connecting multiple domains from hardware through gateware and firmware up to the software. There’s nothing better than a perfectly integrated project delivered on time that serves the client’s needs.

In my spare time, I like to play tennis. I also have lots of 3D printing experience, which I gladly share, and a deep interest in space exploration and cutting-edge technologies.
