Senior Software Engineer / Architect

Private information
Blockchain DevOps OTP Phoenix PostgreSQL VueJS

My passion is solving complex problems with software by breaking them down into simple pieces.

  • I’m an excellent generalist: I’m always curious and enjoy learning.
  • I am just as good at big-picture thinking as working on details.
  • I have a lot of patience for getting things right and understanding things fully.
  • I am mindful of business pressures and requirements.
  • I’m pro-active, communicative, and a good team player.

My most developed skills are:

  • Low-latency, highly-concurrent, fault-tolerant services (Elixir, Erlang/BEAM VM, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ)
  • Full-stack web development (Phoenix/Elixir, PostgreSQL, LiveView, Tailwind, Vue.js, Typescript)
  • DevOps, Automation, Internal Tooling (Kubernetes, Docker, Shell Scripting, CI, Nginx, Linux Admin)
  • Low-level & Systems software (Zig, Rust, Qt Framework, C++, C, Assembly Language)

Most of my professional life has been spent in small teams, so I’m used to being hands-on with planning and design, interacting with clients, autonomous working, leading development, cloud deployment, networking and IT infrastructure, etc…

My preferred approaches to software design include:

  • Domain-Driven Design
  • Hexagonal Architecture
  • Event-Driven Architecture
  • Event Modelling
  • CQRS / Event Sourcing

I am passionate about the open-source ecosystem. I am a dedicated Linux user as well as relying daily on open-source tools for my work, so my experience runs deep and wide. I’m particularly fond of these tools:

  • Elixir (Phoenix, LiveView, LiveBook, Nx, Nerves)
  • Zig
  • PostgreSQL
  • Sqlite
  • RabbitMQ
  • Vue.js
  • Valkey / Redis
  • WebAssembly
  • Typescript
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes
  • Qt
