Current Work
Current engineering focus across production operations, Kubernetes R&D, platform engineering, and backend system delivery.
Current Focus
Production SMS Firewall operations and Kubernetes R&D at Omobio
- >Operating and modernizing production SMS Firewall systems that process live telecom messaging traffic.
- >Building and evaluating a Kubernetes R&D lab for a distributed Erlang-based SMS Firewall; the lab was not deployed to customer or production environments.
- >Building and maintaining Docker/Podman images for telecom application environments and Kubernetes manifests for the R&D lab.
- >Handling L1/L2/L3 production support, incident response, failure recovery, escalation, and post-issue validation.
- >Implementing change requests and bug fixes in Erlang-based SMS Firewall components.
- >Building protocol labs, backend platforms, and LLM experiments to strengthen distributed-systems and systems-engineering depth.
Engineering Decision Criteria
Designing for maintainable production behavior
I prioritize reliability over complexity. I avoid distributed patterns unless they solve a real failure mode.
- >Choose Redis only when it solves a real latency, coordination, or caching requirement
- >Use idempotency where retries can create duplicate business operations
- >Design services to preserve correctness during dependency failure
- >Plan degraded behavior for partial outages
- >Establish observability before scaling decisions
- >Prefer rollback paths over unreviewed production hotfixes

Active Work
- >Operating production SMS Firewall environments and handling L1/L2/L3 support workflows.
- >Building and evaluating a Kubernetes R&D lab for distributed Erlang-based telecom components, including architecture documentation; not a production deployment.
- >Implementing Erlang change requests and bug fixes for SMS Firewall release validation.
- >Continuing backend platform work with Spring Boot, Redis, reverse proxies, and automated deployments.
- >Building Go and Erlang telecom test labs for SMPP, SS7/SIGTRAN, M3UA/SCTP, SCCP, TCAP, and MAP experiments.
- >Continuing RumalGPT training experiments to understand transformers, tokenization, model scaling, evaluation, and local inference.
