### Skills and toolset
Python is the language and ecosystem I have the most experience with. I've done
a lot of web apps in Django, Flask, FastAPI and make heavy use of SqlAlchemy.
Nowadays I use AsyncIO for async programming, but used gevent a lot in the past
as well. I'm obliged to say I've got to use most of uWSGI's features and love
it for its robustness, richness, large set of configuration options and
wonderful documentation.
a lot of web apps in Django, Flask, FastAPI and made heavy use of SqlAlchemy.
Nowadays I use AsyncIO for most Python projects, used gevent before AsyncIO was
introduced. Deployed WSGI apps on uWSGI and love it for its robustness,
richness, large set of configuration options and wonderful documentation.
Huge fan of PostgreSQL with some NoSQL experience in Apache CouchDB. I have
fair experience with Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, MQTT, ZMQ, gRPC for message

Professionally I used to manage infrastructure on AWS, GCP, OpenStack and
employed Ansible on multiple projects. Docker was a thing I've used a lot in
the past, but switched to Podman due to its daemon-less, free nature (as in
freedom) and its Kubernetes compatibility.

### Hobbies and Languages
### Hobbies
I spend most of my free time writing Rust, from [**lock-free
queues**](https://github.com/filipdulic/bus-queue) to [**web applications in
WebAssembly**](https://git.vp.mk/ui) (must also mention that Elm provided me
with one of the greatest hobby-programming experiences ever). Recently I've
been busy with an [**embedded application in Rust for tracking
e-bikes**](https://gitea.vp.mk/e-bike-tracker) on an esp32 with a sim module.

I'm an avid table tennis player, frequent hiker (~100k steps/week), pizza and
bread baker and an ordinary everyday cook. I also enjoy playing video games,
mostly football when in good company.
### Languages
Macedonian is my native language. I speak English and Serbian fluently and have
a fair German knowledge with a C2 degree in 2001.

Location Based Services for tracking electric bikes. The platform rests on an
ESP32 Microcontroller and is written the Rust. It also contains a SIM modem
(sim800l + an ublox neo6m GPS modem is the first implementation, the second is
on A7670E with an embedded GPS module).

written in Rust that also contains a SIM modem (SIM800L + u-blox NEO-6M GPS
modem, or A7670E with embedded GPS module) that sends location information to a
broadcast server (also written in Rust) with a streaming architecture that
receives locations from all devices (via MQTTS, or HTTPS) and streams those
locations to designated parties (mobile apps) via websockets.

Consultant in Ericsson LabOps team in Linköping - Sweden. Worked on automating
the infrastructure procurement for the R&D department in Ericssons own private
cloud management solution running on-site. My responsibilities included
implementing best practices by setting up automation, reviewing most of the
code in Gerrit and maintaining a Jenkins CI/CD pipeline (code-test-deploy
automation).
the infrastructure procurement for the R&D department in Ericssons on-site
private cloud. My responsibilities included implementing best practices,
reviewing most of the code in Gerrit and maintaining a Jenkins CI/CD pipeline
(code-test-deploy). The most interesting part for me was to develop a Python
project generator based on Jinja2 that contained configuration for the whole
pipeline, i.e. tests with Tox, wheels, Sphinx documentation, Docker images and
publishing to Artifactory.

Reduced the technical debt by refactoring, planning and discovering bottlenecks
and bad/redundant implementations. Improved the development flow, enforced a
stronger code review practice and python coding standards for the main product
written in Django, which also utilized PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, Celerry, etc.

Designed a scalable cloud solution and built a complete platform for home
security cameras with Python, JSON-RPC with TinyRPC, gevent, Protobuf, FFMpeg,
uWSGI and Live555, hosted on AWS. Reduced a couple of clients’ development and
deployment overhead by dockerizing their complete infrastructures. Created a
machine-generated-content service by implementing a ranking algorithm in
PostgreSQL and optimized critical DB queries.
Designed and built a scalable platform in the cloud for home security cameras
written in Python with JSON-RPC as the synchronization protocol hosted with
uWSGI on AWS with around a dozen service types: a server that kept a live
connection to every camera over TCP with Protobuf, transcoding server with
FFMpeg, Live555 custom streaming server, a DB/RPC service to handle clients,
file syncing service with SSH key management, a couple of notification
services, back office service for managing the platform, etc. Other projects
included reducing development and deployment overhead by dockerizing a couple
of clients’ complete infrastructures, a machine-generated-content service by
implementing a ranking algorithm in PostgreSQL, etc.
