About

I am a sofware developer, working profecionally since 2007 and semi profecionally since 2001. I am competent in C# and MS SQL Server and I have worked and experimented with multiple other technologies, including Javascript and Vue, node.js, Delphi, python, no-sql dbs, and static site generators and probably a few more. I know my way around infrastucture like RabbitMQ, Redis, Grafana/Prometheus, Graylog. I am a firm believer of true agile developement (deploy early, deploy often, gather feedback, iterate) and I like clean code (to the point it makes sense). Currently I enjoy building microservices for Kaizen Gaming in a really exciting enviroment.
