Functional programming geek with 20+ years of software development experience and solid instincts in the areas of system architecture and distributed systems. Passionate about delivering clean, elegant and correct code.
- Python: 6+ years of experience, see e.g. the OpenQuake engine for some samples of my work
- erlang: solid knowledge and some code experiments
- elixir: solid knowledge, also wrote a couple of small tools using it. Here's an example
- ocaml: solid knowledge and some code experiments
I have worked remotely and/or with remote teams for 5+ years. This is my preferred modus operandi.
Various linuxes e.g. Ubuntu, Arch
- Cloud computing: AWS and OpenStack. Here's an AWS proof of concept I was asked to develop some time ago
- Postgres: have extensive hands-on experience with it. I was the "database guy" in more than one project :)
- RabbitMQ: used it quite a bit in the OpenQuake project, did most of the trouble-shooting and debugging on the distributed computation cluster.
- Automation & deployment: I know of tools like puppet, ansible etc. and have dabbled with them. Have also played with docker more recently.
I have built and led a number of agile and distributed software development teams in the last couple of years
- I started and ran the biggest IT meetup group in Zurich for a number of years
- I was one of the founders the Swiss OpenStack user group
- the perfect is the enemy of the good
- untested code is broken code
- automate or die!
