Backend by trade, storyteller at heart. All of it powered by Python.
I am a backend engineer at Brandefense, focusing on Python, and I really love this language. Python is the tool I reach for when I want to build, test, or explore a new idea. I also enjoy taking a hard topic and making it easy for someone else to understand. That is why I write articles, give talks, and stay active in open source. I learn a lot from the community, so I try to give something back.
When I am not coding, you can probably find me solving a sudoku ✏️, drinking too much coffee ☕, or making one more cup of tea 🍵.
Start to learn, repeat to specialize.
Most of my writing lives on Medium, where I turn real problems into clear walkthroughs.
- 🔬 Evaluating and Monitoring LLMs with Langfuse: A/B Testing & Metrics
- 🤖 Building an OCR ReAct Agent from Scratch with LangGraph and Gemini
- 🔥 Fire Up Your Logging Needs with Logfire
- 🧠 How to use caching with built-in methods in Python
- 🐍 …and a long backlog on pandera, Django internals, GitHub Actions, and more.
