ABOUT ME
Full Stack Engineer
Full Stack Engineer
I have been programming professionally since 2005 and with Node.js since it was released in 2009.
I am most experienced with web apps and REST APIs (front end, back end, operations, architecture, etc.). Aside from web apps, I worked on a Bittorrent client, a Bitcoin node and even a line following robot (among other things).
These days, I work a lot with Javascript. Express, React and Redux are my friends. My database of choice is PostgreSQL though I also have experience with MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ and MySQL. I tend to write most of my Javascript code in a functional style.
I am well versed with Software Engineering best practices and methodologies and can provide advice on code refactoring or improving development processes.
I can also provide advice on higher level architecture such as how to break up a monolithic app into a bunch of more manageable microservices or how to architect a system so that it scales.

I have been administering Linux based servers since 2005 (though it has never been my full time occupation).
At the very beginning, I did most administrative tasks with the help of web based GUI tools such as cPanel, DirectAdmin or Webmin. I then started to learn about the command line and eventually learned enough (vim, bash, zsh, apt, apache/nginx configuration, etc.) to be more effective with the command line than GUI tools.
I eventually started adopting automation tools and DevOps practices as they gained popularity. Those tools/practices include Ansible, Vagrant, CloudFormation, containers, CD/CI, "Infrastructure as Code", short release cycles.
These days, I operate a Deis PaaS that runs on a cluster of CoreOS servers provisioned on AWS.
I am familiar with distributed systems architecture, especially those that relate to web sites/apps.

I have been doing Machine Learning for a bit over a year, mainly in the domain of computer vision. I am self-thaught through and completed the following Coursera classes with 100% grades: "Machine Learning" (Stanford), "Neural Networks and Deep Learning", "Structuring Machine Learning Projects", "Improving Deep Neural Networks: Hyperparameter tuning, Regularization and Optimization", "Convolutional Neural Networks". I have mainly worked with Python, NumPy, Keras and TensorFlow.
