Full Stack Engineer

My latest in progress project: numify.co 
- I love to think about the best stack and tech for the job at hand - I love to automate from the beginning, especially considering that nowadays it's so cheap in effort and free in money - I love to utilise latest infrastructure and serverless to keep it free, flexible and fast - My web app stack? All things JS in front- and backend, data-heavy modules in Python, plus a few bash automations if needed.

In my opinion, usually for a web app, all things JS in the frontend (e.g. React or Bootstrap) and all things in the Backend (e.g. Node) work just fine together. JS is everywhere.

One of my professors introduced Python in our university. It has become the best tool for many tasks and now I love to introduce it, too.

In the last years I've used it to 

- created projects and tools for personal use
- create server and deployment automation
- write my Bachelor's thesis about Natural Language Processing
- build major semester project on data scraping & data analysis
- build ChatBots

This number one university language is also the place where my journey began. If you feel stuck with Java sometimes, I probably know exactly what you are going through. I had my ways to push through and I'd love to share them with you.

The physical movement of huge tons of data and the challenges accompanying them are fascinating. 

From data sourcing over cleaning and ingesting up to analysis I experienced everything first hand in Big Data projects at work and university. 

I have some of my data engineering adventures documented here: richstone.github.io

I have set up serverless infrastructures with GCP as well as AWS and built several prototypes with Firebase.

I've built the https://numify.co from the ground up with the https://serverless-stack.com/

Helping devs and entrepreneurs to finish their projects

Rich Steinmetz

Before getting into software development I had an e-commerce store with over 650 sales and 100% positive reviews, just to give you a feeling of how important "win win" is to me. 

On the technical side I was automating processes with ebay's API and building custom templates with HTML and CSS.

FullStack.coach aims to provide great quality content for full stack students and coding coaches.

Knowing when to focus on design and/or functionality instead of the deep tech behind a product is crucial for a full stack engineer. FullStack.coach is my attempt to do exactly this and learn a new low code technology on the way.
