💬 About Me

👋 Hi, I'm Artis. Welcome to my website!

I'm a full-stack engineer and have been writing software for a living since 2004, as a lead engineer, an independent consultant and an engineering manager. I like owning things end to end, and I'm at my best on problems that cross layers, from native code on small devices to what the user sees in the browser. I like making expensive things cheap, and I've been building with AI agents since 2023.

🎯 Off-Screen

I'm a father, a hiker, a fisherman, and a petrolhead. My tinkering habit is mostly about taking things apart to see how they work: flashing custom firmware onto cheap microcontrollers and cameras, listening in on Bluetooth sensors around the house, reverse engineering old binaries, and making consumer hardware do things it wasn't shipped for.
