Do more than is required. What separates those who consistently achieve their goals from those who merely follow is the extra mile. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s philosophy, I believe in the power of simplicity and clarity in all creations. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. I am committed to lifelong learning, constantly expanding my knowledge and skills to reach new heights in both personal and professional growth.

What I Do

Development

I am proficient in backend development with PHP, Python, and Golang, and skilled in frontend technologies including JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, React, and Next.js. I have a deep appreciation for REST and Open APIs, GraphQL, Kubernetes and Docker, which I leverage to build scalable, efficient cloud microservices and distributed systems.

My database expertise covers both noSQL and SQL: MySQL, Postgres, Oracle and MS SQL, while my server-side and DevOps skills include working with AWS, GCP, MS Azure, Apache, Nginx, Redis, Solr, Docker, and custom-built cloud services, Acquia Cloud, Pantheon, and Platform.sh.

I am passionate about writing clean, efficient code and enjoy creating elegant, straightforward solutions that deliver real results.

Expertise

I bring extensive experience as a Senior Software Developer, Senior PHP/Symfony/Drupal Developer, Senior Web Developer, Tech Lead, Team Lead, IT manager and CTO. My background includes leading diverse projects and mentoring teams to deliver high-quality software solutions.

I am prepared to join any organization as a senior software and system engineer, dedicated to crafting innovative and efficient solutions while fostering a collaborative, optimized, and high-performing development team.

I am passionate about creating software that performs seamlessly across all devices and online platforms, managing large-scale databases, and delivering high-impact value for both businesses and society.

Wishlist

I am always open to exploring new technologies and high-tech projects. My passion lies in the creative process of developing innovative software solutions that drive progress and efficiency.

I am eager to expand my expertise with Python (Flask, FastAPI, Django, MongoDB, AI, ML, ETL, LLM, RAG systems), Golang (Go) along with their respective frameworks, protocols, services, and Kubernetes / Docker to broaden my software architect cloud provisioning proficiency.

I am committed to continuous learning, particularly in best practices for software engineering, big data, native AI/ML applications, native cloud computing distributed systems and microservices, striving for excellence and impactful results in all my professional endeavors.
