About

Two decades as a systems infrastructure engineer: mainframes, large-scale data, a FAANG company, and now embedded Android.

I'm Igor, a systems infrastructure engineer with two decades spent building the layer other software runs on. It started close to the metal, as an IBM mainframe systems programmer, where reliability isn't a feature you add later, then close to a decade of large-scale data infrastructure that led to a FAANG company. I left it to help build a device from the ground up: I'm now the software engineering tech lead at Strikeco, on a commercial tennis-simulator built on custom AOSP hardware (Rockchip RK3588-class) with Unity integration.

On the side I build local-first fitness apps: Iron Log, a workout tracker that runs the PG-ART progression method, and Food Locker, a private body-weight log. Both keep your data on your phone: no account, no cloud. Mainframes and local-first apps turn out to share a worldview: your data, your machine, no dependence on someone else's cloud.

If you want the low-level Android and AOSP work rather than the apps, that's on the consulting page.
