About me
Founder & principal architect at Monadial, my solo practice. Still the kid who wants to know how things work inside.
My father taught me my first steps in programming. Competitions became freelance websites, which became a career building systems for banking, gaming, and payments.
During my employment at Pixel Federation, I led the payment infrastructure team, building distributed systems together with my colleagues. Today, my work combines architecture, Domain-Driven Design, and the practical challenges of systems that need to evolve.
“When two teams use the same word for different things, no amount of Kafka will save you.”
Lately, I also help teams adopt AI without quietly losing their engineering judgment. I use AI every day. I still think we’ve all gone slightly crazy.
How I think
01
The business already has a language. Use theirs, not the org chart’s.
02
Message schemas and APIs are versioned, documented, and governed.
03
If you can’t see it in production, you don’t own it — you just deployed it.
04
Modernize in steps your team can understand, operate, and reverse.
05
Use the tool. Keep the thinking. Never merge what you cannot explain.
