Personal details
Simon P.
Summary
I'm an experienced software engineer, manager and mentor. I enjoy solving complex problems and explaining them in a simple way.
In my career I've been leading teams, conducting trainings, mentoring, recruiting and speaking at conferences.
The language I'm most proficient in is JavaScript, but I've also written production code in Rust (🖤), Python and Elixir.
I'm passionate about Human-Computer Interaction & UX and the borderlines between science and engineering.
Work Experience
as a senior full-stack developer, I've work on advanced UI/UX, single-page applications, data visualisations and games as well as real-time node.js backends, REST API's and shell tools.Recent work:
- set of tools to visualize orbits and flybys (close approaches) of Near-Earth Objects (planetoids, comets, and meteoroids) in 3D based on real observation data (react, webgl) [not public yet]
- desktop application for the Internet of Things industry (node, react, electron, bluetooth) [http://samlabs.com]
- pseudo real-time multiplayer monopoly/trivia game (server+client) used for employee training. Project sold to few top-tier clients. (meteorjs, mongodb) [internal project]
- founder & teacher in a small, private programming school [http://heycode.io]
Managing and growing the best engineering team I've ever worked in. Making or delegating important technical decisions, coordinating roadmap, quarterly plannings and OKRs. Setting up helpful processes and combatting the unhelpful ones. Promoting a culture of trust, open feedback and constructive disagreement.
