Introvert, autodidact, social geek. Love writing high quality, reusable, testable code. Care a lot about performance and monitoring. I prefer developing custom solutions over integrating off-the-shelf 'solutions'​ that don't really fit the job.SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT* I'm familiar with a lot of programming languages (see below), but currently limiting my toolset to Go/Golang for building backends/microservices and HTML/CSS/JS for frontends. I stopped using Apache and PHP and completely switched to Go for routing/templating/logic.* For relational and timeseries databases I use MySQL, Prometheus and InfluxDB, with Grafana.* I have worked with: PHP, Go, C, MySQL, HTML/CSS, Bash, Javascript, Expect, regular expressions, SOAP, SNMP, code metrics, frameworks (Phalcon, Symfony, Silex), unit testing and continuous integration systems (PHPUnit, Git, Gerrit, Jenkins, Phabricator).
