About me

As a Paragon Full Stack program graduate, I am a determined and passionate Full Stack web developer with a keen interest in creating efficient, responsive, and user-friendly web applications. My previous experience as a Chief Enologist and Head Brewmaster has provided me with valuable problem-solving and analytical skills, which I apply to web development.

I bring over 30 years of extensive experience with UNIX-like operating systems, including Linux, BSD, and Solaris, coupled with a comprehensive understanding of various file systems such as ext, btrfs, and zfs. My skills extend to network topology, firewalls, VPNs and server management across dedicated servers, VPS and other forms of virtualization, along with expertise in remote administration and IT support.

In addition, I have 10 years of industrial automation experience, working with technologies such as Omron, Beckhoff, B&R Automation and Unitronics. This has equipped me with solid understanding of automation processes and systems integration.

I am continually looking to expand my knowledge in the field, with a recent focus on modern web technologies based on the React stack. I am excited to bring my diverse skill set to my next opportunity, contributing to innovative projects and collaborating with dynamic teams.
