I have 20+ years experience in the software industry as an individual contributor.
I see myself as a generalist but I gravitated throughout my career more to the backend and low level languages, despite working a lot of interpreted languages in API backends. Notable places I worked: Shopify, Gameloft and Cadence Design Systems. See more on my LinkedIn.
I started my career with PHP4, had the opportunity to work 4 years in C++98 however I always wrote Python, either as scripting, smaller apps and personal projects. Later I ended up working full time with Python. In the more recent years I had the opportunity to code 6+ years in Ruby at Shopify. Nowadays I try to find excuses to write Golang or Rust. Ah yes, JavaScript and TypeScript too, more commonly with React than Node!
Nowadays in the AI world, I am a skeptical enthusiast. When we design systems we need to decide which parts of the system will have more scrutiny and reviews and which ones we will want to define the boundaries, data contracts and proper interfaces/APIs etc.
I am also currently trying to increase my open-source and online presence. Not sure how but figuring it out.
