About narvidas

I do hands-on consulting contract work.

Go, TypeScript, React, Terraform. AWS, GCP. Staff/Principal level. Academic background in Robotics. Consult on ways of working (TDD, XP) and architectural challenges. Work mostly with maturing startups (Series B+).

Born in EU, raised in UK. A father. For recreation I design and build wacky inventions using 3D printing, woodworking and software. Board-sports, speciality coffee, lifting heavy things and paragliding.
