Experienced SW architect and developer with broad spectrum of interest. Celebrating 30 years in the business. Full stack dev, more or less.

I love simplicity, and refactoring is the king. Bloating is an inherent threat in engineering and must be actively be fought. Toss the tosh! Change is good. Architecture should be lean and clean. Languages too. I dislike over-engineering, limiting licensing, narrow-minded platform warfare and coding style talibans.
