Zusammenfassung
Hi there! I am an experienced software engineer and tech lead with a focus on complex web applications. My current key technologies are Ruby (Rails) and Javascript (Typescript, Node.js, React). I have working knowledge and plenty of experience in the full web stack through a wide range of projects, with an emphasis on backend technologies. With more than fifteen years of hands-on experience under my belt, I know how to build effective and pragmatic solutions for my clients, using the tools that suit the job. I also enjoy sharing and discussing this with others, as well as helping my team succeed. In my work, I enjoy simple yet beautiful and maintainable code. I embrace change and constraints, and I mostly thrive in agile and lean environments.
Why work with me? I am offering:
- software development with Ruby (Rails) and Javascript (Typescript, Node.js, React)
- support with dev-ops and automation (Docker, CD, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS)
- leading and mentoring of engineering teams
- support with technical project management and planning
In the collaboration of your team with me, you will receive these benefits:
