01 · About
A short summary about my journey and interests.
I've always been the kind of person who needs to understand how things work underneath - and then take them apart to make them better. That curiosity shows up everywhere in my life, from the projects I tinker with at home to the way I spend my weekends.
Drift is my real passion - the adrenaline of a car on the edge of control is hard to match. I followed it as a fan long before I chased it myself, and I've had my own drift car and gotten to feel that edge firsthand. I still follow events like Drift Masters closely, chasing that same rush from the stands. Formula 1 is where the rest of my racing attention goes.
That same appetite for speed and adrenaline led me to a Yamaha R1, before I moved on to ATV off-road riding, which is where I spend most of my time on wheels now, exploring trails rather than roads.
I keep a home lab running purely for the joy of building things without constraints - a place to experiment, break things safely, and learn by doing.
I'm also drawn to open source and everything new coming out of it. I track a wide range of feeds to keep up with what's happening - new software, new ideas, new approaches - and use it as a source of inspiration to fine-tune current setup. There's always something to improve, and I like keeping that progress constant rather than letting things sit still.
02 · Experience
A snapshot of my current role and the impact I’ve made.
I now operate and evolve Hostinger's DNS platform across authoritative, recursive, and specialized internal services.
Earlier in my career at Hostinger, I managed cPanel-based hosting environments and supported shared hosting operations, account lifecycle workflows, and platform reliability.
03 · Projects
Projects I have build for work and personal use, ranging from game cheating scripts to high performance services. Many of these are open source and available on my GitHub.
GitOps-driven certificate lifecycle manager where certificate definitions are maintained as code, CI/CD workflows automate ACME issuance, renewal, and monitoring, with certificates stored securely in HashiCorp Vault using OIDC authentication.
An authoritative DNS server built around the miekg/dns library, with built-in replication via HashiCorp Raft, an LMDB backend, reversed-label key encoding for fast zone lookups, and S3-backed distribution for serving and syncing data.
Machine-learning anomaly detection for node_exporter metrics using Isolation Forest, a 30-day rolling history, and automated weekly retraining.
A high-performance, geo-aware authoritative DNS server with ECS support, Redis-backed route selection, hot-reloadable GeoIP data, and built-in Prometheus metrics.
A self-hosted, scheduled AI automation platform built on the OpenAI Agents SDK. Users create agents with tool sets and instructions, then attach schedules with cron timing, notifier integrations, and prompts for autonomous execution and reporting.
A custom Ansible module driver for Proxmox VE VMs that spins up real test environments on demand, enabling end-to-end validation in a realistic infrastructure context.
