Hello.
I am a software architect and a team lead who solves tasks and launches products instead of fiddling around with tools.
Instead of following the latest frameworks cargo-cult, I design fundamental stuff like data models and product specifications, choosing the right paradigm and tools for your future product. I write guidelines and create application architecture from the ground up.
I make sure that your product will not fail because of the technical side and will have low support and extension costs. A complete list of tools I'm familiar with can be found in my formal CV.
Almost all of my projects can be found at my GitHub.
I write articles for dev.to. I cover topics such as software architecture, accessibility, design patterns, tools and libraries.
