Don’t be down, server. We all think you’re doing a great job & everyone likes you!

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

Give me a container over a server any day.

Currently working as the CTO of 🚀Real Links. Formerly 🎈Muzmatch, 🏎Car Throttle/WTF1 and 🏷MyVoucherCodes.
