#about

I'm a software engineer specializing in production AI systems, agentic workflows, and distributed microservices. I love building products from scratch, combining deep technical depth with product understanding and staying involved from idea to launch. I also love to play table tennis and research new things in my free time.

Enver

DevSecOps SaaS Platform
Live

Enver is an open-source zero-knowledge environment variable orchestration platform for teams that refuse to trust a third party with production keys. It encrypts secrets client-side with AES-256-GCM and splits the master key via Shamir's Secret Sharing (5-of-3). The server never sees plaintext, never holds a decryption key, and cannot leak what it doesn't have. Ships with a web dashboard, CLI, VSCode extension, and REST API.

PongCast

AI Broadcast & Computer Vision Platform
Live

PongCast turns raw table tennis footage into TV-ready broadcasts. YOLOv8 + MOG2 track players and the ball, a physics-based spotter converts trajectory inflections into events, an ITTF-compliant state machine scores every point, and a supersampled PIL renderer composites WTT-style overlays. Three tiers: Next.js dashboard, FastAPI backend with SSE streaming, and a Python CV engine with optional Real-ESRGAN upscaling.
