I have more than 15 years of experience in developing web applications for various domains such as web hosting, billing and payments, helpdesk systems, and CRM. I am a software architect and developer with a strong background in backend and API development, using primarily open-source technologies such as Linux, Perl, Python, Postgres, and RESTful web services.My specialty is working with legacy codebases, finding the most effective ways of incrementally improving existing code, and balancing this work with the business' ongoing need to add new features. I enjoy coding and solving complex problems; hands-on development work is what drives me. I also value clear and consistent coding standards, as I believe they enhance developer productivity and code quality.In my most recent role, I was Principal Software Architect at Liquid Web, a leading web hosting company. I was responsible for guiding multiple development teams in software design and implementation, working on special projects that required my deep knowledge of the billing system, and producing project documents for developers and management. I also continued to mentor developers on our team, as I had done in my previous roles at the same company. I left Liquid Web in July 2023, and am pursuing new challenges and opportunities in software development.
Listed skills include Perl, Web Development, Programming, Linux, and 10 others.
