Hi there!

I've been writing code since 1999 and writing about it for almost as long. My first published tech article landed on Habr in 2008 — a walkthrough of ADO.NET Entity Framework that turned into a small series. I'm the founder of IFC LLC. Most of my days are spent untangling software that somebody else wrote, teaching people to write better software, and writing down what I learn along the way.

The systems side is where I live — Rust, Go, Linux infrastructure, NVMe-over-the-network, scheduler internals, the kind of plumbing most teams don't want to think about until it's on fire. For the last couple of years I've also been publishing a lot about AI: not as an evangelist, not as a doomer, just as somebody who's been around long enough to recognize the pattern.

If you want the tour of what I actually know — the blog is the best map. If you want to talk shop or bring me in on something broken — get in touch.
