Hi, I'm Denis.
I write backend software, run a small k3s cluster at home, and spend a surprising amount of free time breaking networks I configured myself.
Based in Paris.
About
Programming is my job, but it isn't only my job. I like Go, networking, containers, self-hosting, and building small products because I want them to exist. Most of those projects run at home. Paying someone else to host them would probably be easier, but I would learn less.
When I'm not coding, I play Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, and Satisfactory—games where I spend my free time fixing bottlenecks, power shortages, and badly planned infrastructure. Somehow, I find that relaxing.
I speak Russian, English and French. This site is where I keep my projects, experiments, and occasional notes.
Construction
A temporal map of how France builds itself: 91 months of official permit and building records, from 2019 to today, covering all 34,386 communes of the country. More than 2.9 million Sitadel declarations and 200,000 building-level events in Paris and Gironde drive the replay, from a national ink field down to individual footprints.

LegiFeed
Most legal monitoring stops at the headline. LegiFeed reads the text: each of the 1,569 texts it covers becomes a brief that says what changes, who is affected, what is due, and where to verify — then links to the original. The feed is refreshed daily from seven official sources, with the signed Journal officiel PDF always one click away.
