I'm Evgeny Karpov, a software and platform engineer in Copenhagen. Here I write about DevOps, .NET, cloud and AI systems — and what it takes to make them work in production.

Software engineer in Copenhagen
In daily use, private
My private phone app on top of my Obsidian vault. Markdown and Git stay the only source of truth. Built with a team of AI agents that I direct, review and deploy.
Coming
A public live dashboard for Copenhagen — weather and rain, power price and CO₂, air quality, harbour baths and city events, gathered by my scouts.
When I started treating job search as a system instead of a pile of individual applications, the work became calmer, sharper and more honest.
APIs give AI agents access to systems. Memory determines whether they can work responsibly over time without repeating mistakes, losing context or inventing a beautiful explanation afterwards.
I used AI as a product partner to test, reject and sharpen app ideas. The result was not another chatbot, but a prototype for Vært: a discreet Danish concierge for hosting, dining, culture and trusted services.
AI can be an equalizer. But in banking it quickly becomes a risk machine too, if data, governance, explanations and control do not follow.
A look inside my Obsidian vault: graph memory, daily research scout, candidate notes and blog drafts. AI as a workbench, not a magic wand.
DevOps is not just a pipeline. It is the ability to move software safely from idea to operations, detect problems quickly and fix them without panic.
