I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 30 years of experience and a passion for technology. I
have worked in a variety of industries and fields such as education, entertainment,
telecommunications and payment processing including the architecture and implementation of complex
PCI-DSS compliant systems.
Electronics has always been a hobby for me and, since I was a teenager, I've been soldering
something in my spare time. This gave me a chance on various occasions, to get professionally
involved in designing proof-of-concept/early prototype devices.
I am currently based in Poland and able to take on contractor roles across a range of positions and
durations, normally fully remote with occasional on-site visits.
I can join your team or work in isolation but, generally, I consider project work and not long term cooperation. I am well versed in backend development, APIs, security, scalability, long term maintainability which, I believe, are the true assets I can offer. I consider language and frameworks easily learned skills so I don't mind picking up a tech stack that is new to me. However, understandably, if you are looking for someone to hit the ground running my strongest suites are Laravel, PHP, Serverless, Node.js, and some Spring Boot and Kotlin.
If there are sensors or actuators you want to hook up to an Arduino or perhaps a Raspberry PI to build any sort of proof-of-concept or fair display item I can get your project hooked up and write some software to run it. I would love to help artists create their installations realizing their ideas into hardware. My most extensive and recent experience is on the Arduino platform, mostly because of the vast selection of libraries that makes it a natural choice for prototypes and one-offs. I did work in the past in both Assembly and C for various microcontrollers, most notably the venerable Motorola 68HC11 and the STM ST6.
I can help writing, proofreading, and editing your technical documentation.
Whether it's a user manual, API docs, or a (technical) blog post I can provide you
with content to your specifications.
I have had extensive experience throughout the years, mostly documenting APIs and
writing user manuals both in English and Italian. Though not relevant to the tech world,
I have also published few books which you can see on my
Amazon
Author Page.
