Skills and toolset

|
||
|
||
Extensive knowledge of the web stack. Experienced in developing, designing and

Python is the language and ecosystem I have the most experience with. Web apps

||
with Django, Flask, SqlAlchemy, etc. Async network communication with gevent

and asyncio, small helper scripts that are too complicated to implement in
|
||
bash, automation scripts, etc. Rust is the language I spend most of my free
|
||
time with experimenting on various fields, from low-level queues to frontend web
|
||
applications in WebAssembly, for which I also used Elm with great joy.
|
||
|
||
For virtualization I use KVM / QEMU, also experimented with Firecracker / Cloud
|
||
hypervisor and similar new technologies.
|
||
|
||
