If I have to do something more than once I’m writing a script for it.

Engineer, often found working on greenfield projects and/or microservices in NodeJS (Koa, ExpressJS) or PHP, familiar with relational databases (MySQL, Postgres), document-driven databases (MongoDB, RethinkDB, Elasticsearch), templating (Nunjucks, Handlebars, Jekyll, Liquid, Jade Pug), unit testing with code-coverage (Mocha, Istanbul, PHPUnit), logging infrastructures (Fluentd, Kibana), as well as dev-ops roles (dedicated servers, Docker, AWS).

Currently working at Muzmatch as their Senior Backend Developer. Formerly Car Throttle and MyVoucherCodes.

In a world dominated by containers & microservices over servers & monoliths, it’s important to get your application logs sorted. Here’s a brief overview of iterations of application log stacks in production-level applications at Car Throttle.
