Profile Summary
Software development has always been my best hobby and also my dream job since I was 14. Now, after more than 14 years as a professional, I can honestly say that dealing with a real-life problem to bring a 2-digits solution in a form of software architecture is a pure passion to me. Not just making it "work", also making it work right and stable. Because of that approach, I always design for what's coming instead of what it's at the moment.
In all those years, floe⋅hub is the project that I am mostly proud of. It has modern tech stack with Node.js (Javascript & Typescript), MongoDB, Neo4j, Redis and Vue.js on frontend. As a side project, its long-term development process brought the idea of node-dot which is my minimalist toolkit for building fast, decentralized, scalable and fault tolerant microservices. It's free and open source.
The curiosity and the interest of problem solving which got me into "coding", are still leading my career path but above all that, there is connectivity and the data. That's why I have been choosing to be a part of data-oriented projects which require high concurrency such as online advertising, online gaming and finally IoT in my last 8 years.
I believe that being a professional requires 2 elements in the core: information and experience. Information part has to keep growing in balance. Because, the technology doesn't stop. And experience part is not about the time you spent in tech business. It's mostly what you have collected into your bag from earlier projects. It's about what you're ready for. And when you have your hobby as a work title, you feel ready for almost anything.
