I put AI to work inside companies. After hours I build the products I use myself.
I'm an IT Manager at GoodData, where I lead a small team and own the company's IT operations, security and infrastructure across a remote-first SaaS environment.
Over five years at GoodData I grew from Sr. IT Administrator into a leadership role — building processes, deploying SaaS-management and identity tooling, and improving how a tech company runs its internal IT. Before that I spent six years at Würth across IT administration and ecommerce, learning the operational side of IT in a traditional enterprise. Lately my focus has been AI enablement: I led the company-wide rollout of Claude (Anthropic), making AI part of how teams work day to day.
Led the company-wide rollout of Claude — evaluation, security & data review, deployment and user enablement, with guidelines for safe use across engineering, GTM and support.
Okta managed as code via Terraform, Azure AD, access reviews and SOC 2 readiness. Auditable SSO and provisioning across every internal tool.
Vendor consolidation and license optimization via Trelica, ITIL-based service management, onboarding/offboarding that's fast, secure and consistent.
Fleet-wide MDM with Kandji and Intune, plus networking on Cisco, Fortigate, HPE, Extreme and Ubiquiti — from a single office LAN to multi-site.

I don't ship software for a living — I run IT. But with AI in the loop I design, build and ship real native Apple apps for problems I actually have. This is what "AI adoption" looks like when you live it.
AetherYour own streaming service. Without the subscription.
Aether unifies Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, SMB/NAS shares, WebDAV, local files and downloads into one deduplicated library — the same film, same progress, same library on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro. It plays through PrismCore, its own open-source engine, so MKV files arrive with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision intact; on top come Live TV, music, offline downloads, Trakt and on-device AI recommendations. It connects straight to your own servers: no cloud, no analytics, no subscription. Free on the App Store since July 2026, one download for all five platforms.
NexusWhere the library comes from.
A media server that lives in the Mac menu bar. Point it at the folders your films and shows already sit in, and it streams the original files — no transcoding — to Aether on every screen in the house. Built for Aether, but Aether doesn't need it: it's one more source beside Plex, Jellyfin, Emby and SMB.
HearthroadsBuild a home. Connect a settlement.
A cozy living-logistics strategy game: every good is a real object, carried hop by hop along the roads you build. You lay the roads and set the rules — the settlement runs itself. Native on Mac and iPad; early Windows download available.
QuotaVadisYour AI coding limits, at a glance
A small Mac menu bar app that shows how much of your Claude Code, Codex and Cursor quota is left, what it costs and when it resets — with an iPhone companion and widgets synced over iCloud. It reuses the logins those tools already keep on your Mac; nothing to sign into.
DropStationA modern iPhone client for Synology Download Station
The replacement for the discontinued DS get app. Manage your NAS downloads from a clean, native iOS 26 interface — add magnets and .torrent files, watch live transfer speed, browse peers and files, and stay signed in across launches.
PrismCoreAether's native playback engine — FFmpeg demuxes, Apple plays
MKV, MPEG-TS and friends are remuxed on the fly into HLS-fMP4, served from a loopback server and handed to a plain AVPlayer — so Apple's stack does the hardware decode, Dolby Atmos passthrough and Dolby Vision on formats it could never open by itself. It is Aether's default engine on every platform.
From the field to leading IT — the path so far.

Work alone isn't a life. These keep me balanced.
01 / 3My biggest passion. A longtime Apple fan, but my curiosity reaches across the whole landscape shaping where tech is going.
02 / 3Cycling, the outdoors and staying active — it keeps me healthy, clears my head and builds the discipline that carries into everything else.
03 / 4I think we're wired to explore. The world is too beautiful not to go see it — from San Francisco and Hawaii all the way to Japan.
I'm not actively looking, but always open to a good conversation about IT leadership, AI adoption — or Apple platforms.
The best way to reach me is LinkedIn or email.
