What I'm doing right now

A snapshot of my current focus. Last updated: April 2026.

Current focus

→Leading Partner Account Infrastructure in Berlin — overseeing 7 critical services handling API integrations with 40+ payment partners (Adyen, Mollie, Stripe).
→Scaling and evolving a custom framework that enables automatic retriggering, prioritisation, and chaining of service calls — reducing maintenance overhead significantly.
→Running quarterly engineering strategy and OKR processes, tying team technical bets to measurable business outcomes.

→Expanding a massive open-source curriculum portfolio— 16+ deep-dive technical courses spanning Java/Spring Boot (24 parts), Linux (85 chapters), System Design (34 chapters), AI & ML (21 chapters), Advanced AI (20 chapters), CyberSecurity (20 chapters), C++, Go, DDD, and Bash.
→Building full-stack AI-powered applications — an AI Video Generation Studio (5 models including Wan, Kling, LTX-2), an AI Voice Assistant with Whisper + GPT-4o + TTS, and an ML Inference Pipeline (PyTorch → ONNX → Spring Boot).
→Running a local AI Image Generation Platform with Stable Diffusion and Fooocus — a 46GB model library with 7 SDXL checkpoints and 40+ LoRAs, optimized for Apple Silicon via MPS GPU acceleration. Training custom character LoRAs on CivitAI.
→This website — built from scratch with Next.js and deployed on Vercel. A permanent home for my writing, projects, hobbies, and thinking.

→Deep Learning foundations — working through Goodfellow, Géron, Rashid, Nielsen, and d2l.ai to build an Advanced AI curriculum covering Transformers, RNN/LSTM, Federated Learning, Graph Neural Networks, and AI Agents.
→Generative AI workflows — Flux prompt crafting, Kling AI video directing, and CivitAI LoRA training for custom character creation.
→Deepening Spring Boot 3 + Spring 6 — exploring Spring Modulith, Model Context Protocol (MCP) for LLM tool integration, and event-driven architectural patterns.
→CyberSecurity — building a 20-chapter offensive/defensive curriculum from 24 textbooks, covering penetration testing, reverse engineering with Ghidra, and digital forensics.
→German — continuing to improve while living in Berlin. Both necessary and rewarding.
