I am a tech curious by nature and a 16+ years IT Specialist by profession. Started as a Software Develeoper in Telecom and continued my engineering career through various industries (Automotive/Embedded/GPS navigation/Finance) ending up as CTO in a Private Equity Company.Linux as my OS of choice was the only constant in my career, with C++ as my mother-language, Python as proptotyping or Golang for microservices. I take any new technology as a challenge in either learning something new or improving my current work . I do enjoy architecting from scratch (be it an internal stock exchange, a high frequency trading machine, an automation testing framework or a cloud-based distributed systems architecture), but I equally enjoy refactoring and bringing obsolete systems to a new state-of-the-art solution. All these lead to a considerable experience in scalability and performance optimization techniques.
