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

Engineer at heart, found working on greenfield projects, APIs (GraphQL, REST, SOAP) and 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.
