How I Build
Build. Connect. Explore.
The technologies I use to build today, and the ones I'm exploring for tomorrow.
I build software the way it actually runs in production: as a chain of decisions, from the first component to the last alert. Here's the stack behind each stage, the principle that guides it, and what I'm learning next.
- Use
- technologies I work with regularly
- Exploring (exploring)
- what I'm learning now
01Build
Where ideas become applications.
Principle: Types first. Then features.
- React
- Next.js
- Node.js
- TypeScript
- Microservices
- JavaScript
- Express.js
- REST APIs
- HTML

02Connect
APIs, services and systems working together.
Principle: Every API is a contract. Secure it, limit it, version it.
- 3scale API Gateway
- F5 BIG-IP ADC
- OAuth
- JWT
- API Gateway
- Rate Limiting
- API Routing & Mapping
- Enterprise Service Bus
03Run
Containerized platforms built to scale.
Principle: If it can't restart itself, it isn't production.
Platform
- OpenShift
- Kubernetes
- Docker
- AWS
- Istio
- Argo CD
- Red Hat Quay
AWS
- AWS Lambda
- Amazon S3
- SNS
- SQS
- Autoscaling
- High Availability
Data & Messaging
- MongoDB

- Elasticsearch
04Think
Where software starts to reason.
Principle: A model is only as good as the context you give it.
- LLM APIs
- Prompt & Context Engineering
- Tool Calling (exploring)
- AI Agents (exploring)
- RAG (exploring)
- Embeddings & Vector Search (exploring)
- Structured Outputs (exploring)
05Observe
Metrics, logs and signals that tell the story.
Principle: If I can't see it, I can't fix it.
- Prometheus
- Grafana
- Elasticsearch
- Kibana
- Node Exporter
- Fluent Bit
- Fluentd
06Secure
Identity, secrets and quality built into the workflow.
Principle: Security is a pipeline stage, not a review meeting.
- Keycloak
- HashiCorp Vault
- SonarQube
- Checkmarx
- RBAC
- Secrets Management
- SAST & Vulnerability Scanning
07Ship
From code to production.
Principle: Small changes, shipped often, easy to roll back.
- Jenkins
- GitHub
- GitHub Actions
- Automated Testing
- Container Registry
Right now
Building AI agents with tool calling, and learning how to evaluate them properly.
