About

I'm a software engineer focused on solving difficult engineering problems. Over ten years I've consistently moved toward larger systems and larger responsibility: distributed systems, scalability, microservices, cloud infrastructure, and architecture. I went from junior backend engineer to building social infrastructure used by hundreds of millions of people. Rather than specializing in one language, I specialize in building reliable systems regardless of technology. Languages are tools. Architecture is the skill.

Recommendations

What the people who managed me say.

Working with him on modernizing a complex legacy codebase was a testament to his abilities. Ferdo quickly understood the old system and seamlessly translated it into modern, efficient code. I confidently endorse Ferdo for any role requiring top-notch software development skills.

Ferdo was a force-multiplier engineer for us. Technically adept and highly adaptable, he was a constant source of informal leadership and assistance to his teammates. Losing him was a huge loss, and we would welcome the opportunity to work with Ferdo again anytime, anywhere.

Ferdo impressed me with his deep knowledge in math and engineering along with his adaptability and eagerness to learn. He is absolutely reliable and can be counted on to get things done with a high level of visibility and communication. You want him on your team.

I'm grateful I had a chance to work with Ferdo. There was no task he couldn't implement - Frontend or backend, we could always rely on Ferdo. We worked in the same team and implemented multiple features together from scratch. Besides technical skills, Ferdo is a super nice person to talk with, and a good communicator. Would be happy to work with him again.
