You have landed in my zone, let me show you around.
If you are trying to look at me professionally, then I suggest you go to my LinkedIn.
About me
I'm a software and infrastructure engineer. I like building software, and I spend a lot of time with Linux and new AI tools. I'm a devoted Linux fan, and yes, I use Arch. What pulls me in most is the low-level side: computer networking, containerization and virtualization.
// larch
My own Linux distro? Hell yes.
Larch is an Arch-based distro for developers and engineers. I built the ISO, the installer setup and the docs, and it boots straight into a desktop that is already usable.
Live desktop, zero setup
Boots into niri and noctalia with keybindings wired in and a dark theme on.
A real installer
Calamares-based, with full-disk encryption (LUKS) on by default, GRUB and zram.
Tools already there
btop, lazygit, paru, uv, k3d and kubectl ship in the base system.
Stock Arch underneath
Standard Arch repos, built on a fork of the official archiso releng profile.
// github
Repos worth opening
Side projects that started with curiosity and a problem I wanted solved. Who knows, one of them might become a product, or even a company.
dwim-ai
Closed sourceIn developmentAn AI watchman for Kubernetes. A small Go agent in your cluster spots crash loops, OOM kills and stuck rollouts. An LLM investigates and proposes a fix with its evidence. A human approves it, and only then is anything applied.
- The AI never touches the cluster. It holds no credentials and can only propose.
- Every change is signed, snapshotted first and recorded in an append-only audit log.
- The agent connects outbound only over mutual TLS, and is read-only by default.

My favourite recordings
You thought I was just a nerd? Nope. I love talking to people, going to conferences and sharing what I learn.
