About me

I am a developer with passion

I soaked into IT when I was a kid. It always fascinated me how all these electronic devices work, what makes them act as we want them to act. Computer games made me curious how to create colorful and melodious worlds out of nothing.

My journey began with Commodore 64 and Basic. As years passed by, new programming languages emerged, computers evolved and shrank into a size smaller than a finger, I became better and better in controlling them with Pascal, C/C++, Java and many others. Nowadays it's not only about programming a computer but also about making the still-getting-bigger software manageable and understandable not only by a processor but also by human.

I believe that being an outstanding software developer is to write not only clean code but also to design clean architecture keeping in mind standards, security and ethics.

At the end of the day, there is a client who the software is created for.

Assessing client needs, risks and possibilities, estimations
Client-developer and developer-developer communication
Building and managing a team
Clean architecture and best practices
Needs over technologies (picking the right tool for the job)
Relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MongoDB and others)
State of the art tools (Git, Docker and others)
State of the art frameworks (Spring, Angular and others)
Vast spectrum of programming languages (mainly Java but also C/C++, Python, Ruby, JavaScript and others)
Automated tests and automated tasks

Skills

Client communication

It is important to understand the need, the problem, the goal.

Architecture

The only constant is change. Automating and testability come first.

Mentoring

Spreading the knowledge makes the software better.

Java, Kotlin, Scala

From oldest version to the newest. Long living projects tend to stick with specific LTS version for years.

SQL

PostgreSQL, Oracle Database, MySQL. No matter the vendor, data is important.

NoSQL

Neo4j, mongoDB, Redis. Key-value or not, relations are not always tabular.

HTTP

REST, SOAP, gRPC. Information exchange is the key.

Web / mobile

HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Android, iOS. As close to user as software can be.

Frameworks

Spring, Spark, Angular, React. Reliable tools helps to make the job done.
