Where I've worked
Oct 2024 — PresentCurrent
Principal SW Engineer
GoodData
I specialize in building and scaling AI-driven core of high-performance systems. My focus is on creating "transparent" infrastructure - where deep observability meets automated, AI driven and rock-solid deployment workflows. I spend most of my time wrangling large-scale telemetry stacks (logs, metrics, and traces), applying machine learning and LLM-powered tooling to surface anomalies and keeping complex environments predictable.
- Architected large-scale observability stack across logs, metrics, and traces, with AI/ML-driven anomaly detection
- Automated deployment workflows for complex, high-performance environments using AI-assisted tooling
