I love working with all aspects technology, from highly scalable non-blocking actor-based systems to front-end data visualization libraries.I view software as small building blocks that can be put together to produce highly functional applications and systems. Hence, I like to work with open-source projects and frameworks that have that design in mind.I also enjoy building applications distributed from the ground-up, and having clear responsibilities between applications. I'm a proponent for messaging-based architectures because the benefits they add for scalability and throughput outweigh the overhead costs.Technologies I work with:Languages: Java, Scala, Bash, sprinklings of Groovy & RubySearch: ElasticSearch, LuceneDatabases: MongoDB, Neo4J, MySQL, PostgreSQLFrameworks [Java] - Spring, Hibernate, Grails, Dropwizard, Apache CamelFrameworks [Scala] - Akka, Spray.ioMessaging: RabbitMQ, AMQPOS/Servers/Tools: Mac OS X, Ubuntu, AWS, Nginx, Jetty, Tomcat, Eclipse, Git, MavenTechnologies I hack with:Languages: JavascriptFrameworks: Play, Node.js, Angular.js, jQueryLinks: * Github: https://github.com/bbguitar77 * Presentations: http://www.slideshare.net/bwarner77
