Technical skills
In my spare time I enjoy studying and building my ideas. I am most interested in web
development but also enjoy AI and solving coding problems.
Python > 5 years experience and favourite language. Developed professionally with django and
Flask for websites serving 1000 rpm. I value highly TDD, test coverage, DRY principle
and keeping things O(n). django, webapp2, Flask, numpy/scipy, matplotlib, selenium,
BeautifulSoup, elasticsearchpy.
Javascript > 5 years experience. Closely following the fast evolution of the JS landscape. Optimistic
about the future with ES6 and functional paradigms. Worked with many MVCs, task
runners, module systems and UI frameworks. Try to keep libraries to a minimum and
prioritize intuitive UX and perceived performance. JS is my language of choice for web
(front & back) due to its asynchronous nature and npm. Angular, express, web sockets,
HTML5 canvas, d3, gulp, grunt, npm, node, karmine, mocha.
Ruby 1 years experience with Ruby on Rails whilst building Fube.
Databases Postgres, MySQL, mongodb, elasticsearch. Good at writing efficient nested join queries
and designing normalized schemas.
Java & C Used whilst studying algorithms, data structures, types and other CS theory.

color systems and typography. CSS3, flexbox, animations and transitions.
