Profile

Hello, I am Daniel and I am Software engineer working on web applications and web infrastructure.I have been developing professionally for 3 years but tinkering with technology since my high school education. I started with small hardwarehacks as a side from my normal studies. I have a bit off a diverse job history, having a background in electrical engineering and hardware programming then backend development in financial technology with database administration and a devops. I have the startup culture so I can fit many roles to an extent. My positions have utilized an agile-like development process and being comfortable with change. A day in my life may consist of adding API endpoints, writing management shell scripts, database administration, deployment and monitoring, bug fixes, active development or reading, got to stay upto date don’t you think?
