I have spent 27 years in IT, from the simple beginnings of being a web-editor, to having grown into a Senior Software and Systems Architect. Creating and leading software development teams, based upon the most current and up to date technologies, implementing solutions founded on advanced architectural design and standards, has become my passion. Throughout my career path, I have fulfilled many different technical and lead roles through a great variety of industries, which have given me a superbly broad skillsets to bring to any project. In addition to these, I never stand still when it comes to keeping up with new technologies and trends, learning and adding to my knowledge and skillsets daily.
Finding the right solutions to any given need and challenge in modern software development is my greatest goal, leading and mentoring teams of developers in providing superior products for their companies or clients.
Although I’m generally technology agnostic in finding the best tools and solutions to any given requirement, I do however have my own preferences when it comes to making projects personally more attractive. Some of these are:
- OO PHP > 8.x, Laravel (entire ecosystem), Open Source Solutions, Microservices/SOA, RESTful APIs, Docker/Kubernetes(Debian, CentOS, Alpine), DevOps CI/CD, GitLab, strict Code Quality and Standards (Design Patterns, SOLID, DRY, TDD), Agile/Scrum processes, developers using Linux and/or MacOS, Frontend Technologies based on JavaScript/Typescript (Vue.js, Nuxt.js, Alpine.js, Livewire, Inertia, React etc. + TailwindCSS), strong privacy and data protection compliance strategies.
My personal growth efforts are currently focused on various aspects of AI, as well as adding Event Sourcing as an architectural principle and implementation to my skillset.
