Self motivated, autodidact, diligent documenter and a mentor.

For as long as I can remember, I always was fascinated by technology. I am a long time #Python and #Linux developer, with experience in #Rust. Working with #Open Source technologies and contributing back. Over the years I filled roles in #systems, #backend and #devops in #storage and #security companies. Worked with #AWS, #Bash, #Docker, #ELK, #Flask, #Git, #PKI, #SQL and much more.

I am an #autodidact. Constantly learning new techniques and technologies (such as #async/await, #FastAPI, #Haskell, etc). I also tend to disseminate knowledge: Diligent documentation writer, an experienced and well received instructor, both #mentoring one-on-one and as a public speaker. This is one of the reasons I consider myself one of the lucky few for whom their job is also their hobby and passion. Happiest when coding using Emacs.

Successfully completed projects I wrote from scratch as well as took ownership and maintained legacy code. Consumed and designed #APIs (#RESTful and otherwise). I also worked with Networking (#TCP/IP) I am not a stranger to reading RFCs. Done development support work with dynamic languages (#Python, #Perl) and shell scripting (#Bash), created build and deployment systems (#CMake, GNU build tools), designed #CI/CD pipelines (#GitLab-CI, #Jenkins).

A long time ago in a galaxy far away I also done some low level development with C/C++ and code migration, writing in both the Linux kernel and user space. Now a days prefer Rust for low level tasks.
