About Me

I am a passionate and adaptable software developer, with a keen interest in mastering new technologies. My journey in the realm of coding began in 2012, and since then, I have been ceaselessly learning and evolving.

My primary focus is on the Go programming language. I find it an incredibly powerful tool for developing robust, scalable applications with simplicity and efficiency at its core. My expertise lies in creating microservices with Go, applying principles of SOLID and clean architecture.

In addition to Go, I have been working with Node.js since 2018 and have gained substantial experience in developing RESTful APIs using Node, Express, MongoDB, Mongoose, and more.

While I have a background in .NET technologies and have developed both web and desktop applications using C#, MVC, and Web API, I have chosen to shift my focus towards open-source technologies and Linux, aligning with my preference for transparency, community-driven development, and freedom from vendor lock-in.

As a full-stack developer, I have experience with front-end frameworks like Vue, React, and Angular, with a particular preference for Vue. However, my passion lies in backend development, where I can delve into the intricacies of system design and data management.

Over the past four years, I have gained extensive experience with AWS and serverless technologies, including Lambda, Step Functions, S3, EC2, DynamoDB, Cognito, ApiGateway, EventBridge, SQS, SES, and others. While I am proficient in cloud technologies, I advocate for and prefer self-hosting on VPS or servers, as it offers greater control and customization.

In my free time, I delve into the world of blockchain technology. From implementing and using Smart Contracts to developing and deploying them, I am deeply fascinated by this field.

As a lifelong learner, I am currently expanding my skills in Linux system administration. This includes deploying apps on VPS, monitoring errors, managing deployments with CI/CD tools, setting up mail servers, and more.

My passion for privacy, open-source, and self-hosting, coupled with my interest in learning Linux and server administration, makes me a unique asset in the tech industry. I am always ready to take on new challenges and look forward to bringing my skills and enthusiasm to exciting new projects.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • Go
