About Me

I build cross-platform C++26 libraries and the tooling around them: reproducible builds, Gentoo stage workflows, and CLIs that connect GitHub, CI caches, and local development. Deep in Linux—especially Gentoo—packaging, and making complex dependency graphs compile on Windows as well.

Day job: senior development and infrastructure at Zenlima (since 2010). Off hours: open source under the StormByte umbrella—libraries, CMake DSLs, and ops scripts meant for real use.

Experience

Senior Developer & Infrastructure · Zenlima 2010 – Present

  • System and server infrastructure alongside product development.
  • Long-running delivery of services with Linux, databases, and messaging in production.
  • Bridge between application code and ops: packaging, automation, reliability.

Open source · StormByte Ongoing

  • C++26 modular suite (buffer, config, crypto, database, logger, multimedia, …).
  • CMake Build Master DSL for static/plugin toolchains and external project graphs.
  • Gentoo StageManager and StormByte-GitHub CLIs: chroots, shared compiler caches, CI helpers.
