I write code that moves information and makes things work.
I am a keen problem solver and a computer science enthusiast. I have experience in several programming languages and programming paradigms and I am very quick to learn new languages, methodologies and technologies.Despite being a self described geek, I am also quite sociable and generally bring soft skills to the working environment which contribute to excellent teamwork.
I write everything from bash shell scripts to fullstack javascript applications; functional code as well as markup. I'm a big fan of automation and infrastructure as code.
Having a strong foundation in programming concepts makes it easy to work in different languages easily. If you want your concepts expressed in a way computers can execute, I got you.
You can solve any challenge in a system once armed with a model of the mechanisms at work, and by exercising discipline in gathering information to refine this model.
You can usually find me going through the cycle of separating facts from assumptions and devising methods to (in)validate those assumptions to generate new facts. Ofcourse it helps to be naturally curious and being formally trained in conducting investigations.
Solutions to real world challenges often involve several steps and multiple systems. Years of working with different operating systems and middle wear has transformed into experience.
Choosing the right set of tools given your constraints and connecting them to deliver highly available, cost effective and fault tolerant solutions is something I can do for you.
Like any nerd I have my habits and hobbies.
What follows is a just a few.
