Victor Bona
Software systems, production-tested arguments, and notes on architecture, infra, security, and AI.Builds software systems and writes down the arguments that survive contact with production: software architecture, infrastructure, product engineering, security, AI systems, and the cost of abstractions.
Shipped Systems
Guara Cloud
A cloud platform for launching and operating catalog-based user services with billing, observability, backups, and Kubernetes-native deployment.
Purple Wolf
A fast, low-memory Web Application Firewall for Traefik, shipped as a WASM plugin with signed releases, SBOMs, and Kubernetes packaging.

Longer Work
Purple Wolf: A Technical White Paper on a Low-Latency Traefik Web Application Firewall and Audit Relay
A technical white paper documenting Purple Wolf's Rust workspace architecture, request normalization path, detector groups, policy semantics, Traefik http-wasm adapter, audit relay protocol, release surfaces, related WAF systems, and committed benchmark results against the Coraza http-wasm Traefik plugin.
The Missing HTTP Verb: STRUT
A position paper proposing STRUT, an idempotent but unsafe HTTP method for server-driven, minimal-input resource creation. The paper defines candidate semantics, compares the method with POST plus Idempotency-Key, conditional PUT, WebDAV, and Prefer, and discusses security, caching, intermediaries, browser behavior, and deployment.
Archive
The full writing archive stays organized by date and topic: clean code, scalability, APIs, concurrency, AI tooling, homelab infrastructure, and the tradeoffs behind shipped software.
