DominikEngineer in Progress
Currently operating networks as a NOC operator — while building toward a career in software engineering. I like systems that talk to each other, infrastructure that holds under pressure, and code that actually ships.
Most developers have never debugged a production outage at 3AM — I have, more times than I'd like. Working in a NOC teaches things no tutorial covers: why observability matters, what 'resilient' actually means, and how fast a single misconfiguration can bring something important down.
Now I'm channeling that into software. I'm drawn to backend systems — the kind that need to be correct, fast, and hard to break. Understanding what happens beneath the application layer feels like an advantage I want to put to use.
I'm looking for a software engineering role where I can start building things, not just keeping them alive.
A hero-driven roguelite RTS built in Unreal Engine 5 — developed commercially with a friend under the studio With Wind. Heroes shape every aspect of your strategy: buildings, units, upgrade paths, and tactics. I handle gameplay development and also set up a Perforce version control server on AWS to keep our workflow sane across the team.
Full-stack site for a DayZ/Arma gaming community. Features a custom CMS gated behind Discord OAuth with whitelisted client IDs — letting admins manage announcements, server rules, and an event calendar directly from the site. Currently being rebuilt.
Personal portfolio and CV site. Tech-noir aesthetic, built with Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind CSS v4, and TypeScript.
Monitor and maintain network infrastructure 24/7. Handle incident response, escalations, and root cause analysis. Work with monitoring tools including Zabbix, Grafana, Kibana, Nagios, and Dynatrace. Document procedures and contribute to runbook improvements.
Performed manual testing across multiple projects, maintaining close communication with development teams to report findings and track fixes. Created and managed bug tickets in Jira, executed scripted test runs, and produced detailed test reports.
