About
I’m a seasoned web developer specialising in Ruby (on and off Rails) and have experience with JavaScript / TypeScript (Node.js, Bun, Astro, React, Svelte) as well as the usual technologies and concepts that come with building useful and robust web applications, web services and APIs:
• HTML and CSS
• Relational (SQL) and NoSQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, AWS DynamoDB)
• Containerisation (Docker)
• Continuous integration / delivery (CI/CD – CircleCI, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)
• Infrastructure as code (AWS CDK)
• Amazon Web Services (AWS) and CloudFlare
• Twelve-factor apps
• Agile processes (Scrum, Kanban, Lean)
• Git
I strive for excellence in my craft, try to keep a healthy balance between work and play, and seek meaning in the things I choose to spend my time on.
