I am a well rounded software engineer. Studied Mathematics and Management Science and apply those problem solving skills to designing and developing software. Although I didn't officially study software development, I found the problem solving to be enticing and quickly learned how to read software and a senior architect took me under his wings and I found my passion.I've written scripts in Python, Ruby, Bash and even some complex SQL. However, I did find the JavaScript ecosystem fascinating and decided to make that my "expertise" Ultimately, my love is for solving problems across a software stack. I find that understanding now only how my software runs within its runtime is important, but also the environment in which it runs. In other words, I stepped into the world of DevOps without even knowing it.Now I manage Kubernetes clusters, tinker with Kafka and it's powerful streams API, help others learn about deploying microservices in a CQRS type of architecture and develop core microservices in JavaScript and Golang.In other words, I have pursued my passion for understanding and knowledge. I don't find comfort in finding "my thing" and refusing to solve problems that don't allow me to use tooling I'm comfortable with. I appreciate challenges and I understand that technology, software and hardware move fast and being willing to solve problems that aren't necessarily "in my wheel house" is a great way to learn new skills and stay sharp.My pursuit is to learn, keep up and contribute. I've learned that in this field being humble and accepting of gaps in knowledge leads to greater paths. I've worked for great companies and my opportunities have been fantastic and I'm thankful for that.
Listed skills include Javascript, Databases, Sql, Agile Methodologies, and 46 others.
