I can help you to quickly take your visions into production: producing scalable, secure, cost efficient, and Cloud Native serverless applications. I've been building on AWS for 10 years and developing software professionally for over 20 years. I prefer to take a whole system perspective when architecting and building a solution. These solutions are supported by best practises like Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, TDD, monitoring, logging, alerting, observability, disaster planning, and performance testing. This is ensures your business needs are developed and operated with the same care as if you were building them yourself. I started programming in QBasic in MS-DOS in junior highschool. Then in the early 90s, I got into BBSing (Bulletin Board Systems) and eventually wrote my own BBS hosting software for OS/2. In my last year of High School, I switched to Linux (Slackware) and started the first ISP in my home town. I've grown up and grown with the Internet and now the Cloud. My main interests are in how we can use technology to help people do more with less: time or resources. Software has a great ability to liberate people from monotonous repetitive tasks and focus their time into more creative and productive pursuits. These are the types of tools I like to build.
