Short intro: I’m a Software Engineer / Site Reliability Engineer. My main interests are related to Linux, Kubernetes, C++, Rust, Go, security and reverse engineering. Besides that I love reading sci-fi and historical novels, travel, listen to music and do sport with friends (futsal, climbing, running and swimming).
Engineering a chess match against my brother
This is the story of me trying to win a game of chess against my brother. A single freaking game. What’s so special about it? Am I good at chess? Not at all. Did I improve at my game in the process? Also no. Is it a story about “the journey rather than the destination”? Not really. Did I at least have fun in the process? Not so sure. This is the story of me trying to be unconventional at probably the most studied game in existence and using my software engineering background for something that probably doesn’t need it....
Demystifying container networking
Over the last year, at work I had multiple chances to debug how containers work. Recently we had to solve some networking problems a customer had with Kubernetes, and I decided I wanted to know more.

We didn’t feel safe in our home and we didn’t feel safe to leave it - not even for half an hour - for the fear to come back and find somebody inside....
Ripgrep code review
I’ve been playing around with Rust for a year and a half, and the best part of it, like many others say, has been the very helpful community. There are a lot of online resources that help you to get started: the Rust book, the Rustonomicon and many blog posts and stack overflow questions. After I learned the basics I felt a bit lost though. I couldn’t find enough resources for intermediate-level-Rustaceans....
