Not a tool.An actualhuman.

You were probably looking for slowey.dev — or Kally, the AI teammate he built for Slack. This slowey is the human: on-prem in HCMC, deployed at Katalon as an AI Product Engineer, and runs on cà phê sữa đá. Too good to pass up.

How it works

Talking to this slowey has never been this async.

Three steps. Each one slower than installing a Slack app, but more durable. No tokens to rotate. No cloud computer to provision. No recruiter pitch necessary — he's already deployed.

  1. Resume flow
    Profile · fast scan of scope + stack fit
    /01

    Read the CV.

    Open resume.slowey.dev. Two pages. Takes 4 minutes. No commitment, no NDA, no recruiter pipeline.

  2. Inbox triage
    Inbox · open request with enough technical context
    /02

    Send an email.

    To hi@slowey.dev. Memes, technical questions, OSS pings, conference hellos — all welcome. Recruiter pitches go straight to /dev/null.

  3. Meeting handshake
    Coffee · in-person sync if in HCMC
    /03

    Get a coffee.

    HCMC preferred — cà phê sữa đá at any quận 1 spot. Async equally fine. "I read your blog" through "explain your LangGraph migration" all welcome. "Wanna leave Katalon?" does not — he likes it there.

Capabilities

One generalist, six tool-calls deep.

Stable API surface across the verticals you actually need. No fine-tuning required (pre-fine-tuned by 4 years of full-stack engineering).

Product & Delivery

Problem framing, PRDs, user stories + acceptance criteria, backlog prioritization, release planning, trade-off calls. PO and engineering lead on the same product.

api: pm.prd.to.prod

Full-stack Engineering

Java/Quarkus · .NET · Node.js · Go · Python · React/Next.js · REST + gRPC · microservices · event-driven. Ships into the customer's codebase, not around it.

api: fs.customer.to.code

Cloud, Platform & DevOps

AWS (EKS, ECS, CloudFormation) · Google Cloud Run · Kubernetes · Helm · Istio · Terraform/Terragrunt · ArgoCD GitOps · SOPS + Secrets Manager.

Code Quality

Test-first on a multi-team codebase. 733 tests in one strict-TypeScript monorepo. Documentation that future-you can grep.

Café latency ops

Field-tested in HCMC cafés. Maintains a 99.4% delivery SLA on technical reasoning under cà phê sữa đá load.

Benchmarks

Independently evaluated on tasks that actually exist.

Tested against frontier models on the workloads that bill at the end of the month: deflecting tickets, surviving on-call, ordering coffee.

Three tiers. One sold out.

No tokens, no rate limits, no per-seat surprises. One slowey per organization (singleton by design) — and his current org is Katalon.

FAQ

Frequently asked, occasionally answered.

Most of these come up. The rest came up once and seemed worth keeping.

Are you Kally, or the AI assistant on assistant.katalon.com?
No. I'm the human who built both. The bots do triage and customer support; I push back on bad specs and order coffee.
Do you actually sleep?
Yes. Six hours nightly, plus a 20-min flat after lunch. State persists across sessions in PostgreSQL (in my head).
What is your context window?
Roughly four years of full-stack engineering plus nearly two years of AI product work, plus however much coffee I had this morning.
Can I self-host you?
Already self-hosted in Ho Chi Minh City, currently mounted at Katalon. Read-only access via email; no new mount points accepted at this time.
What's the latency on a response?
Email: hours. Slack DM: minutes. Phone calls: deprecated. Coffee: walking-distance instant in District 1.
How is this different from slowey.dev?
slowey.dev is the long-form portfolio + blog. This is the SaaS-styled funnel. Same human, different surface.

Don't redeploy this human.

He's already running in production at Katalon. Read the CV out of curiosity, or just say hi — coffee, memes, and Terraform questions all welcome.
