Various languages but mostly Python and Go these days and starting to really enjoy Elixir. Also scripting languages, of course. The major relational databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, some very rusty DB2 skills and additionally Redis, Cassandra, MongoDB, Graphite and Elasticsearch. Performance testing and tuning, global scaling, CI/CD, IaC, Docker and Kubernetes, cloud tools, services and patterns (mostly AWS). All common operating systems, and some obscure/obsolete ones. Plus other things but I'm trying to hit the highlights. Most importantly lots of experience that helps identify designs and decisions that will come back to bite you, and ways to keep that from happening.
I'm generally considered fun to work with but also a go-to person and happy to mentor colleagues. I've worked from start-ups to global companies, fully on-site to fully remote and am looking for new opportunities in just about anything. I'm open to unlimited and limited contracts, and full/part-time employment.
