Hi, I am Raffael. I live in Basel and I build automation-first platforms and edge systems at the intersection of security and AI.
raskell = rascal × Haskell × Raffael (tanuki mascot included).
Tech that serves humans. Boring by default, precise when required.
I like hard problems. The kind where latency, reliability, risk, and people all collide. Applied security is just one arena of that. It is systems under pressure with adversarial inputs and questionable signal-to-noise.
What I do
- Platform automation: workflows, guardrails, self-service, operability
- Edge systems: reverse proxies, policy, observability, safe change
- Applied security: reduce noise, keep humans effective, ship pragmatic controls
- AI-assisted engineering: agentic workflows, model-driven tooling, ops automation
- Open standards: sustainable solutions over vendor lock-in
Projects
I run several open-source ventures and flagship builds. The main ones:
- Zentinel — security-first reverse proxy on Pingora
- Archipelag.io — decentralized AI compute platform
- Cyanea — open community for life science research
- Arcanist.sh — high-performance Haskell tooling in Rust
