About

Paweł Oczadły

Build systems that reduce noise, not just code that works.

Platform Engineer. Gradler.

I build systems, not setups. My focus is on creating clean, reproducible developer tooling and infrastructure that scales, tests, and integrates seamlessly into engineering workflows.

Work

Currently working at Gradle on building systems and internal developer platforms.

Note

Posts about Gradle, DPE University, Build Scans, or Develocity reflect my personal experiences and perspectives. They are not official product endorsements or company statements but insights I’ve gained while working with these tools in real engineering workflows.

After work

Exploring tools for AI-native workflows and reproducible prompt registries.

Privately

Husband. Specialty coffee lover. EMTB rider. You can find my activity on Strava.

Areas of focus

Gradle, Groovy, Spring Boot
OpenTofu, GitOps, modular (cloud) infrastructure
RAG pipelines, AI-native DX

Why this blog

Besides keeping my code in repositories, I wanted a place to document structured, reusable solutions for:

cloud architecture
platform engineering
AI-native tooling

Everything in a clear and accessible way.

This blog serves as my personal engineering compendium — a space I return to when designing systems, just like revisiting ADRs during architecture work.

It’s my way of capturing patterns, learnings, and production-ready decisions that help me—and hopefully others—build clean, scalable, and maintainable platforms.

Who this blog is for

Platform Engineers looking for production-ready tooling.
Software Engineers interested in clean CI/CD, Gradle, OpenTofu, and GitOps workflows.
Developers exploring AI-native infrastructure and prompt engineering.
Anyone who values clarity, reproducibility, and systems thinking in engineering.
