Summary

I perceive programming as a form of art. Great code, like great song, can be both elegant and beautiful. For me, the feeling to create something out of nothing while using imagination and creativity, is priceless.

I have started my path as an UNIX sysadmin and then gradually shifted to JavaScript and web development since ES5 days. Through the years I have seen many bright ideas from many talented engineers which have always served me as a great source of inspiration.

One could say that I am an expert in whole React and NodeJS ecosystem, however I have also worked with many other web technologies including databases, caching tools, CI/CD tools, CMSs, web frameworks in other languages (PHP, Python), web servers, load balancers...
