|
||
Skills and toolset
|
||
------------------
|
||
|
||
Extensive knowledge of the web stack. Develop, design and automate distributed
|
||
and monolith systems on various infrastructures. Keen on refactoring for
|
||
the greater good. Striving for balance between meeting business needs and
|
||
producing maintainable, tested and well documented software that wouldn’t be
|
||
overwhelmed by technical debt.
|
||
|
||
* Long time GNU/Linux user of many flavors like Arch, RHEL, CentOS, Fedora,
|
||
Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine, etc.
|
||
|
||
* I use VIM and Emacs as text and code editors / IDEs, mainly Sphinx (rst) and
|
||
PlantUML for documentation.
|
||
|
||
* Python is the language and ecosystem I have the most experience with, mostly
|
||
web 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 lately my No.1 choice for most of the software I write and use, from
|
||
low-level queues to frontend web applications in WebAssembly, for which I also
|
||
use Elm with great joy.
|
||
|
||
* Virtualization with KVM / QEMU, libvirt and virt-manager. Experimented with
|
||
crosvm, Firecracker, Ignite and similar new technologies.
|
||
|
||
* Service / infrastructure management on AWS, OpenStack, Apache Mesos, Docker
|
||
and Kubernetes. Ansible for deployment automation.
|
||
|
||
* I have a fair experience (> 10 projects) with GitLab CI and Jenkins. Also
|
||
experimented with Travis and Circle CI, but never used them for actual
|
||
projects. Very passionate about GitLab, it gave the best experience so far.
|
||
|
||
* Experience with Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, MQTT, ZMQ for message
|
||
distribution and Protobuf, FlatBuffers, Cap'n Proto for packing objects.
|
||
|
||
* NoSQL with Apache CouchDB and a solid experience with PostreSQL.
|
||
|
||
Languages
|
||
---------
|
||
|
||
Macedonian is my native language. I also speak English and Serbian fluently
|
||
and have a fair knowledge of German, with a C2 degree in 2001.
