Work

Backend Software Tech Lead at Stride @ Atlassian

Distributed systems, Y'all!
Various non-relational datastores.

Python is the primary programming language for me, but I'm rather a generalist. I prefer to make backend software using asynchronous libraries like asyncio or Twisted. Datastores: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch.
AWS: EC2, RDS, ElastiCache, S3, SQS.

As a backend software engineer, I’ve been focused on the development of instant messaging software, ETL data migration services, Near-Real Time embedded system for road traffic analysis, network applications for CCTV video systems.
