I specialize in building secure and performant systems at the intersection of systems programming and infrastructure automation, grounded in due diligence and methodical analysis. My work focuses on creating robust software architectures that can withstand both operational complexity and adversarial conditions.
Engineering is a philosophy of life. It is a way of thinking that extends beyond code; it is how one approaches problems, makes decisions, and understands the world. Good engineering requires understanding systems at multiple levels of abstraction simultaneously - and being an eternal learner.
Professional Experience
Chief Technology Officer & Co-founder
aleph0 s.r.o. | 2025 – present
As CTO at aleph0, I drive the development of future-proof intelligent software systems at the frontier of domain. Focused on building hyper converged solutions, covering both local-first computations and cloud platforms.
My mission is to transform abstract complexity into reliable and practical systems that deliver measurable value. Through combination of rigorous engineering principles with forward-leaning innovation, I create infrastructures and AI-augmented products that last, adapt, and lead.
Backend Engineer, AI R&D
NetFire LLC | 2024 – present
Working under the supervision of Ing. Tibor Sloboda, VP of AI Strategy and Doctoral Researcher at Vision and Graphics Group, FIIT STU, I design and implement robust and efficient infrastructure for AI research and development.
I bring value by combining past experiences, theoretical computer science concepts and practical challenges posed by emerging domain of Artificial Intelligence operations.
Rust Developer
Elastio Inc. | 2021 – 2022
Development of data plane component of a cloud-native backup solutions with focus on memory safety, reliable concurrent programming, and ransomware protection.
My contribution included development of comprehensive virtualization-based testing suite to facilitate support for ARM-based processors, implementing core components for the backup agent and integration with AWS services, and extensive use of advanced Rust construct and higher-ordered typing to enhance system flexibility and reliability.
Software Engineer
Telekart-Prylad LLC, Ukraine | 2019 – 2020
Focused on critical infrastructure systems for military applications, research and development on packet transport optimization in low-bandwidth radio networks, and secure infrastructure operations.

Through writing, I explore the intersection of philosophy and technology. Every system tells a story about the trade-offs its designers were willing to accept and the historical conditions in which it was conceived. Understanding these narratives is crucial to building better technology - and a better future.
