Hello there!

I'm a Full Stack Software Engineer with 4 years of experience in developing quality Web Applications with high availability. Modern technologies excite me and I always strive to be up to speed with current trends. I like simple, clean and reusable code that is properly tested and documented.

I'm passionate about both Software and Cooking, so follow along my recipe for a Great App.

How to cook up a Great App

Step one - mix in some business logic and persistance 🍸

Every Great App needs a good foundation. It has to be robust, scalable and wellrounded. I've used:

• Java (always the latest version 🔥)
• Spring/Spring Boot 🚀
• Kafka 🚐
• SQL (preferably PostgreSQL 🐘)
• NoSQL (Redis and MongoDB 🍃)
• Python/Django (no more Django templates please 😖)

Step two - build a beautiful presentation 💎

An aesthetic, intuitive UI is a must. My experience is with:

• JavaScript/TypeScript 🏡
• React, Redux 🔯
• HTML(5) 🔨
• CSS/SASS/LESS 💄

Step three - Quality Control 🛃

Testing is something I take very seriously. I've spent many hours with:

• JUnit (Unit testing)
• Mockito/PowerMockito (Unit testing)
• Jest (Unit testing)
• MochaJS (Unit testing)
• Locust (Load/Stress testing)
• JMeter (Load/Stress testing)
• Selenium (End to End testing)

And of course, Sanity and Smoke tests should be performed for every new release. Health checks are also nice ✅.

Step four - put it all together 🔩

Building everything together consistently is a must. You won't hear the famous It runs on my PC anymore if you use:

• Maven
• Webpack
• Jenkins
• GoCD
• Docker
• Kubernetes
• Helm

And finally - serve 🍴

Once everything is ready, serve it to the users with:

• Tomcat
• WebPack
• Nginx
• Traefik
• HAProxy

Collect some feedback 📜

What if something does go wrong? Having good logs and monitoring can be crucial. My experience lies with:

• SLF4J
• Kibana
• Logstash
• Datadog
• Java Management Extensions (JMX)
