About

I specialize in building high performant and scalable online retail applications. My average day involves collaborating with data analysts, product specialists, product designers, software engineers and business development professionals. My latest toolkit includes: Python, Go, TypeScript, React, Node, GraphQL, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes and the AWS platform. Sometimes Jupyter Notebooks. I advocate Clean Coding principles, Test-Driven Development (after prototyping), KISS and YAGNI. I have had the pleasure of working with a diverse group of professionals in India, Europe, North America and the Middle East.
