ABOUT ME
Senior Backend Software Developer
Senior Backend Software Developer
I am a software developer based in Berlin.
I finished my MsC in Computer Science and Engineering 8 years ago and I have been working as a Backend developer ever since.
I have experiencing mentoring developers and working through an architecture to come up with elegant solutions.
I love to pick up a difficult problem and come up with the simplest possible solution, I believe that in most cases, simplicity leads to a more maintainable, easier to read and future proof systems.
Scala is currently my primary programming language and I also have extensive experience with Ruby and Python.
I like to work in the intersection between software development and infrastructure, I think this are offers plenty of interesting and challenging problems.

I believe scala gives you the best syntax to be very productive while running on the battled tested jvm.
I have extensive experience developing and deploying akka/akka-http/akka-streams services with multiple persistence backends, including writing and debugging slick sql queries with both postgres and mysql.
I usually deploy microservices running with docker using mesos/marathon and I deployed scala without docker before. I have experience setting up a production infrastructure to run jvm/scala services.

I like working in the intersection between software development and infrastructure. I worked as DevOps Engineer and I was responsible for hundreds of servers on Amazon Aws as well as Rackspace Cloud and bare metal servers.
I believe developers should be responsible for their code running in production and should always know how code is deployed and how it runs in production.
While working as backend developer, I often setup the necessary infrastructure to deploy and monitor microservices.

Throughout my career I have been using git everyday and I belive it is an invaluable tool.
Git can be both a big help and a big headache. I have experience getting out of complex situations and recovering code deep into the reflog.
I worked with multiple development/branching workflows with git and have strong opinions about it.

I use python as go to scripting language when ruby is not available. I like it's "batteries included" philosophy, which simplifies a lot of common server administration and command line tasks.
I also use python with ansible when chef is too big of a solution.
