Welcome — I'm Elier.
I'm a technical leader and hands-on builder with over twenty years of experience turning complex ideas into software. My work spans architecture, cloud, AI, and blockchain, with a focus on solving practical problems and delivering business value.
I enjoy working alongside development teams, contributing code, and building a culture where people can do their best work. This is where I share what I'm building, the lessons I've learned, and the ideas that keep me curious.
Working with Agents
I embraced coding agents early, but my interest in agents goes back much further: I was researching them in the early 2000s. Today, I use agents to write, code, research, manage projects and infrastructure, and explore architectural options.
Agents should produce work I would be proud to put my name on—just faster. I’m still responsible for what ships, and “the agent wrote it” is no excuse for code I don’t understand. Sacrificing understanding for speed is unnecessary and bad practice. After more than twenty years of building software, I know when an agent is helping and when it’s confidently causing problems.
