ABOUT ME
Experienced Backend Developer
Experienced Backend Developer

After running my own consultancy for several years, I currently work at TVbeat, a TV analytics company. My current tech stack mostly revolves around C++ and Lua. I've also done Python, PHP, JavaScript, Clojure, and C#. I also have significant experience in administering Linux-based systems, technical writing, and leading tech teams.

Python was the first programming language I've learnt, and it's stil my go-to language when I'm required to write concise programs quickly. I've built small- to medium-sized websites in Python using Django and Flask, and have used it to automate application deployments. Regardless whether you have some "low-level" issues with your app, or are simply wondering how to structure and organize your code on a high-level, I'd love to chat & help!

While I was running my own company, I needed to wear many hats, including the sysadmin one. I know the struggle: organizing, managing, and architecting your infrastructure is hard, especially if it's not your only job. However, automating your deployments & server provisioning can significantly reduce the stress! If you're running a small- to mid-scale system, and need a way to manage the complexity of a growing number of servers and services - let's chat!

Everyone loves a good Lisp. I have been developing an RSS feed aggregator in Clojure for a while, and have also written some multithreaded / parallel code that dealt with a lot of HTTP queries and a significant amount of data processing. I can help you get up to speed with the language, and overcome some common hurdles!

I've been using Lua and LuaJIT to interface with C++ code both through the Lua API and through the FFI, as well as independently to write shell-script-like code without resorting to Bash. I love the symmetry of the language, and its performance and portability. If you need to add a scripting layer to your application, or you're simply comparing scripting languages and Lua piqued your interest, let's talk!
