I'm Bartek Kus β a Systems Architect, Platform Engineer, and lifelong hacker from Edmonton, Canada.
I build things that scale, survive, and make life easier for the next engineer who touches them.
I love working at the intersection of:
- Distributed systems & platform engineering
- Digital identity (OIDC, SSI, DID)
- AI-accelerated developer workflows
- Open-source tooling & infrastructure automation
I believe in pragmatism over purity, clarity over cleverness, and finishing the last 10% as cleanly as the first.
- Encore.ts + RSC integration β a unified backend + server-components dev platform
- Employment.You β a verified job platform + digital wallet for employment credentials
- Pension.You β long-term personal pension tooling for individuals and small businesses
- GlyphOS β symbolic AI cognition, reasoning DSLs, and agent orchestration

- Developer experience that actually respects developers
- Systems that are observable, debuggable, and boring in the best way
- Identity infrastructure that treats users with dignity
- AI that augments builders instead of replacing them
- Elegant architectures without unnecessary ceremony
