Hi
I'm a full-stack engineer and cloud architect. For close to two decades I've designed and built software for companies around the world, from agencies and startups to construction multinationals and AI companies.
I've led teams, been part of teams, and been the whole team, whatever the job needed.
I've seen server-rendered templates become SPAs, learned ECMAScript in Flash, watched the rise of cloud providers, the decline of classes, and witnessed Atwood's Law fulfill its prophecy.
I remember when JS was only client side and when CSS couldn't center divs, I`ve been among the first adopters of Angular 1 and witnessed the birth of Flux flows and React, and I optimized my pages for IE6.
I've spent thousands on cloud services by mistake, moved whole companies to containerized development and deployments and designed and built event driven systems.
I've served my time in agencies, got my dreams shattered in startups, and my heart filled by the people who shared my passion in the art of crafting software and services that scale.
I've led teams, managed, consulted, advised, coded and architected.
I regret very little, and am grateful for all.
