Summary

I made my first website in 1999. Since then I worked in nearly all parts of e-commerce: from frontend, through backend - with a detour to embedded development - to system administration. I believe in optimization, Open Source and Free Software, and to research the best, existing solution for a problem.

I refactored many of our legacy scripts, applied patch management and self-healing to handle exponential growth and to align with compliance requirements. I worked with SAP and HP to support user and hardware issues.

Hobbies and interests

I used to make web presence for small companies between 2003 and 2010 on a custom PHP CMS. I moved to WordPress in 2007, wrote a few mildly successfull plugins for it. I ended up writing a simple static site generator in Python 3 to learn it, and to integrate building blocks into it. I can write HTML and CSS by hand.

To keep myself up to date with technologies out of my day job I kept running bare metal servers for web, mail, XMPP, and ZFS storage services.

I'm an active practicioner of , and I can most probably assemble any IKEA furniture alone.
