I’m a web and app developer with over 15 years of professional experience. I’ve worked at startups, mid-sized companies, and large corporations including Apple, eBay, and the Comcast Silicon Valley Innovation Center. I specialize in full-stack web development, but I’m also experienced in iOS development, server administration, database design, and more. I'm happy with both short-term jobs (alone or on a team) or medium-term contracts in an agile environment.

SEEKING WORK | NL, Remote | Backend, AI, Optimization

I am a dedicated software developer with a background in artificial intelligence and 12 years of experience.

My approach is rooted in a genuine passion for problem-solving: I like to explore and iterate. I run experiments to pick the right option, and then grow it into a mature solution.

I value attention to detail, experimentation, consistent quality, and collaborative teamwork in achieving results.

Key Areas of Proficiency:

- Full-Stack Development with Clojure and ClojureScript: with this stack I can quickly deliver results.

- Backend Systems: I designed and built dozens of stable high-performance backend systems in JVM languages.

- Performance optimization and observability: I can consult on how to measure and improve performance of backend systems.

- Streaming & Messaging: Lots of experience with Kafka, Kafka Streams, and other messaging platforms

- Natural language processing: I worked on several products that extract data from text and unstructured data, also using PDF's as the source.

- Optimization: Utilizing Optaplanner/TimeFold, MiniZinc and Google OR-tools for optimizing routing and scheduling.

If you are seeking a seasoned professional for projects, advice, or potential collaboration, feel free to contact me for a no-obligation consultation.
