I'm a software engineer with 7 years of experience, primarily in early-stage startups. I'm very used to being part of distributed remote teams. Over the years, I've developed some qualities that define how I approach work by being:
* a quick learner and having developed a good ability for rapidly acquiring new skills and knowledge
* always ready to adapt as needed
* always doing my best to understand the product to guide my technical decisions
* proactive, but open-minded; ready to voice my opinion and just as ready to accept different opinions
* a strong believer in the importance of a well adjusted team and the power of effective teamwork
Although I consider myself a generalist, my passion lies in backend development. However, I also enjoy working on frontend projects and engaging in devops tasks. I am adaptable and willing to contribute wherever the team needs me. While the tech stack is very important to me, I'm also the happiest when I can be working on something that'll bring an improvement to other people's lives, in whatever form it may be.
I have a good deal of experience with functional programming, having used both Clojure(script) and Scala for the main part of my career, however I've also had experience, to a lesser extent, with Javascript, Typescript and Java. Though I have loved working with Clojure, I'm open minded about working with other languages as I believe every learning experience comes with its benefits and will have its contribution in making me a more well rounded engineer. I miss Scala's type system when I'm working with Clojure, I missed Clojure's REPL when I was working with Typescript, I read articles about Erlang's/Elixir's beam VM with a bit of jealousy and I would be quite interested in diving into Haskell, Rust, Zig, among others.
