About me

more_horiz

I am a tech savvy and music lover who loves to wrap his head around distributed systems and cloud-based microservice architectures, while applying (and learning!) techniques like TDD, BDD or DDD.
I have industry experience in Backend development, mostly using Python and some Node.JS and Golang. I am also learning Frontend, using React.JS.

At the moment, I work at HelloFresh a Backend Engineer. On the side, I do voluntary/freelance work at Searchwing. There, we build drones that help organizations rescue people in distress at the sea. Some of the projects that I did for Searchwing can be found in the Projects section.
