Software engineer

Daniil T.

Software developer with 8+ years of experience. I enjoy challenging tasks, creating new solutions, and reimagining existing ones.

Production work across several fields, freelance engagements, and many personal experiments have helped me adapt quickly and choose tools around the problem.

Interests

DevOps

Researching Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka, and other modern tools in self-hosted environments, with a focus on reliable systems.

System design

Designing reliable systems with clear boundaries, deliberate service communication, and room to evolve.

Web

Modern frameworks chosen around project needs, with attention to performance, compatibility, accessibility, and maintainable interfaces.

Game development

Extensive production and personal-project experience across all aspects of game development, from gameplay and tools to technical art; 3D Modeling as a hobby.

Graphics

Rendering, shaders, VFX, 3D workflows, and practical pipelines that connect engineering with visual craft.

AI

Careful use of AI where its work remains scoped, observable, testable, and reviewable, while exploring new ways to integrate it into software and workflows.

Trip video renderer

A commercial trip-video renderer built and supported end to end by its solo developer, used by influencers to turn journeys into shareable videos.

What I worked on

  • Implemented the renderer from its first version and supported it end to end as the sole developer responsible for the rendering application.
  • Built different visual themes and product features for a commercial service used by influencers to turn trip data into videos.
  • Designed a WebSocket API for video requests and integrated multiple encoders, including hardware-specific optimizations and adaptations.
  • Profiled and optimized CPU and GPU workloads and wrote substantial shader code, including custom case-specific shadows and sorting shaders.

Result

A production renderer that powered a commercial product popular with influencers and remained supportable across visual styles, encoders, and hardware.

Monitoring system

A custom, configurable dashboard focused on Compose projects, with an adaptive layout, near-zero idle CPU use, and a sub-20 MB memory footprint.

What I worked on

  • Designed a custom dashboard with adaptive desktop and mobile layouts, light and dark themes, and configurable project, time-range, refresh, and chart controls.
  • Grouped automatically discovered rootless Podman metrics around Compose projects, with host totals, project history, and focused service views.
  • Kept the Rust service near zero CPU at idle and below 20 MB of steady memory while retaining SQLite history, OIDC access, and restore-tested backups.

Result

A deployed day-to-day monitoring dashboard that stays lightweight while making Compose-project health and resource use immediately readable.

What I worked on

  • Modelled planning, implementation, and review as explicit task stages with live agent state.
  • Connected agent runs to isolated worktrees while preserving branch and task continuity.
  • Added comments, attachments, and MCP access so people and agents can leave durable context on the task itself.

Result

A working dogfood system used to coordinate real development tasks instead of a presentation-only mockup.

Self-hosted lab

A production-like home environment for identity-aware services, private networking, monitoring, collaboration, and recovery practice.

What I worked on

  • Deployed identity-aware services behind a shared ingress while keeping application data and credentials isolated.
  • Built rootless-container recovery, health checks, backup automation, and repeated restore drills around the host.
  • Connected private networking, monitoring, collaboration tools, and game services into one maintainable environment.

Result

A working self-hosted environment used daily, with authenticated access and recovery procedures tested against real service state.
