I am a systems and software engineer with over 20 years of professional experience. Currently I live in Madison WI.
I have a general systems ethos of: "Less is best." Beneath the ever growing layers of abstraction lie the same fundamental technologies that make-up any application platform. Those are my specialty.
My background is primarily Linux, and I specialize in on-prem infrastructure. Here's a quick rundown of some of my most used systems technologies:
- NGINX, HAproxy, RabbitMQ
- PHP-FPM, WSGI, WebSockets/SSE
- Postgresql (+PgBouncer), MySQL
- Redis, Elasticsearch
I also have extensive experience in software engineering. Primarily in web-based enterprise / business application development, but also in systems interfacing and tooling, which includes integration with third party services. Here's a quick rundown of my most used software technologies:
- PHP, Python, Javascript, Go, Bash, SQL
- Symfony, Doctrine, Pyramid, SQLAlchemy
- REST, Web Components, Responsive design
