I'm a Software Engineer with 18+ years of experience building from web applications, to ETL, BI, data mining solutions and even some desktop applications. I prefer to work on the web but away from the browser. I enjoy refactoring and optimization workloads and I love to explore new technologies. I can work in any technology but I have my preferences - Ruby, JavaScript, Java, Clojure and Erlang/Elixir. I have quite a lot of experience with JavaScript but I don't really like JS Frontend frameworks and I'd rather not work with those. I prefer: * Monoliths (to a point) to Microservices (from then on) * SSR to SPA * Dynamically typed (for smaller codebases), Statically typed (for larger) * SQL to any "No-SQL" * Linters as hint providers to Linters as error markers * Linux to MacOS * VIM to .. any other .. (I might make an exception for VSCode) I am a native speaker of: * Ruby (on and off of Rails) (10+ years) * Javascript - (10+ years) I can also speak: * Java, C# * Erlang and Elixir * a bit of Clojure I've dabbled with these in the past: * C/C++ * Pascal / Object-Pascal * VB.NET * PHP * Python I have experience using: * Redis (a few years), Cassandra (a couple of years), MongoDB, ElasticSearch (some "small" projects) * PostgreSQL, MySQL (10+ years), MSSQL * Linux (my main OS for the past 19 years), OSX, Windows * Docker (both as a development environment and as a production environment) Could eventually be interested in: * Lead role on a Ruby based project with some JS sprinkles (but not too many). * Dev role on an Elixir/Erlang/Clojure project. * Remote (may involve occasional travelling)
