After 7 years at Molotov TV — first as a Go backend developer, then as Tech Lead and Engineering Manager — and a stint as Head of Software Engineering at Wiremind on Eventori , their revenue management product for stadiums and concert halls, I’m going freelance to work on high-value topics: architecture, developer experience, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure.

I step in where technical debt and organizational issues intertwine: teams that depend too heavily on a few key people, microservices that are hard to test, unstable pipelines. At Molotov, for instance, I designed a Kubernetes workspace system that let every developer deploy and test their changes under real conditions in minutes, straight from their own machine, and I helped structure the team’s Go practices so it could gain in autonomy.

This is the context in which I’m launching Cabestan Technologies. The name refers to the vertical winch sailors once used to multiply their strength when hoisting the anchor or hauling ropes — an image of the role I try to play for the teams I work with: providing technical leverage where it’s needed.

This blog gathers technical notes, lessons learned, and occasional thoughts on software development, architecture, and production reliability — the topics I work on day to day: Go, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and the organization of engineering teams.
