Hi, I'm Dave 👋

I'm a human, a husband, a dad and on my job a software architect and software engineer at Unic in Switzerland 🇨🇭. My current roles at Unic are visible at my public profile.

I grew up with coffee, so I'm very familiar with the JVM stack. But do not ask me to programm in Java, I advocate for Kotlin or Scala.

I'm in love with functional programming languages. At the moment, I'm teaching myself elm-lang. My self-teaching project is (yet another) elm-minesweeper

Languages I can communicate with you:

1. (Swiss)-German, as my mother tongue.
2. English
3. Français, parce que je l'ai eu à l'école et que je l'ai utilisé à d'autres occasions. (Je vous demande votre indulgence bienveillante).

My last projects

• Architecting the MVP of joblex.ch as a POC for kfmv. My roles:
  • Software and solution architect
  • Solution and tooling seeker for edge case issues
    • Ensure (kind of) transactions over service borders and solution providers
    • Cache data until payment has been setteled
    • Ensure caching handling is resilient but cleans itself without ever the need of manual handling
    • Work with outdated communication media (such as email) as data target
• Relaunch energieschweiz.ch, redesign of the architecture to a completely headless, content reusable and statically generated site with many services and tools. My roles:
  • Software and solution architect
  • Content model architect
  • Software engineer and technical lead
  • Author of a blog post about the architecture
• Relaunch of salz.ch, designed the headless architecture and guided the team to build a distributed system
  • Solution architect
  • DevOps enabler
  • Kubernetes tamer
  • CI/CD Pipeline creator
  • Automation promoter

An overview of my projects (like it would be on a way to long summary) are available in projects

💬 My field of interests

In the field of software

• Anything about CI/CD in the view of using the systems. I worked with GitLab connected to Argo CD and (G)KE (helm and kustomize), Team City with Octopus, GitHub and the GitHub Actions world (fly.io, Heroku, etc. pp).
  • On my list: Azure DevOps, JetBrains Space
• All about software architecture, especially how to make it resilient and "simple" by reducing unnecessary complexity
• All about web and technologies and what we can do today with the stack we have
  • Except the details of CSS. I'm unable to write nice and shiny websites by my own. But I can design, write and test your next middleware to collect all data from untrusted and unreliable services to have a solid and up-to-date data set 💰.

Prefered programming languages (in alphabetical order)

• Java (only if there are reglementations where I cannot use Kotlin. But this is mostly a 🚩)
• JavaScript (for really small stuff and most kind of a one time shooter, or - in some cases - just for the browser without any transpilers / additional libraries, etc)
• Kotlin
• Scala
• TypeScript (for real nodejs applications or real frontend development)

Personal

• Anything about parenting 😁
