The Story
Before I wrote code, I wanted to design cities.
Urban planning was the dream. I spent hours on city simulation games, imagining traffic flows and zoning regulations. Somewhere along the way, I discovered that software systems work the same way—roads become APIs, buildings become services, and zoning becomes architecture.
That architect's eye never left me. It just found a different canvas.
Now I build testing infrastructure for IoT devices, scale developer communities across continents, and create documentation systems that hundreds of engineers rely on. I've reviewed cheesecakes in 27 countries, collected enough conference badges to wallpaper a room, and still think in blueprints. There are other versions of me that took different exits.
The North Star: Open Source
In 2016, I fell in love with the idea of people building software together, for everyone, for free. Nine years later, that love hasn't faded—it's become a career.
Open source isn't just code. It's the reason I've spoken at conferences across four continents, mentored students through Google Summer of Code, co-founded communities that grew to thousands of developers, and built infrastructure that tests 2000+ device releases every week.
Everything I build, I document. Everything I learn, I share. That's not altruism—it's how the best systems scale. The architecture I dreamed of designing as a teenager? I'm building it now. Just with different materials.

If you like what you see and how I approach open-source, let's connect! I'm excited to discuss new opportunities and collaborations.
What These Docs Don't Show
This portfolio is a highlight reel, not the full game. Behind every talk listed here are ten rejected proposals. Behind every project are months of debugging at 3 AM. Behind every community milestone are awkward meetups where three people showed up.
I'm documenting the wins because the losses don't need a URL. But if you're reading this and feeling like you're behind—you're not. The rat race is a lie. The only competition is with who you were yesterday.
This site exists partly for recruiters, partly for future-me to remember what I built, and mostly because writing things down is how I think. If it helps you along the way, that's the best outcome.
The People Behind This
This site is built on Docusaurus, inspired by kosiec.dev's design, and maintained since 2018. But the real credits go to the humans.
To everyone who stayed after my talks to share feedback. Who submitted issues on my repos. Who invited me to speak when I had nothing to show. Who asked questions that made me think harder. You know who you are—I wrote about you here.
Open source is a team sport. I just happen to be loud about documenting it.
