Summary

What's up!

I'm a software engineer and I developed custom software in multiple industries (financial, insurance, entertainment, and video streaming) for clients in Europe and the US, ranging from startups to large enterprises. Outside working hours, I guide upcoming software engineers to find their place in the IT industry. With over 200 successful students and 2 university courses, I would be happy to answer any tech questions you might have!

Over the last 6 years, I did a lot of interviewing myself and also worked as an interviewer and gained invaluable experience evaluating candidates. Now, I help software engineers do just that: Land their dream job.

My tech stack includes:
C#, .NET, Restful WebAPIs, MongoDB, Redis, MSSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, Google Cloud Platform
And I have real world experience with a microservices architecture, containerization and event-based architectures at scale.
