About

I am a software engineer who loves to build simple systems which solves complex problems. I have a strong opinion and I am passionate about usage and adoption of different architectures, technologies and methodologies but the goal to deliver a final working solution for a real problem is what makes me get up at 5 am in the morning. I love to work with Go code, I am first to the whiteboard to design cost optimised, scalable, highly available and simple systems on AWS, I am still struggling with it but I know how to quit vim, help company to create their DevOps implementation, yes please, sign me in! Building and leading teams taught me that technology is easy and rather dealing with people is a tough task. Despite that, I accept this challenge because working with teams and making them efficient allows me to have a greater impact on a final goal. Specialities: SOA, EDA, CQRS, DDD, OOP, Design Patterns, DevOps Technologies: AWS Services, Golang, Linux, Docker, Bash GitHub: - https://github.com/nildev - https://github.com/SteelzZ
