I Love APIs

So much so that I even dedicated a section on my website to tell you this. I love creating APIs and consuming APIs. There is just something about the way systems work together that excites me! Some well known APIs I worked with:

Server Admin

AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, Route53, ELB)
Google Cloud Platform (VM, Firebase, Cloud Functions)
cPanel (most shared hosting uses cPanel)
konsoleH (specifically for Xneelo)

I can do full server set up from start to finish – I am no stranger to the Linux command line 🙂

Now that you got this far

Let Me Tell You Who I AM

You’ve gotten this far down on my CV, so it’s probably time to get to know me better as a person. I am a husband to an amazing wife! Besides coding I like nature, especially the beach, taking my four legged children for walks and just keeping healthy overall – this is especially important when working remotely like I have been for the last 3 years. I am an intellectual with a creative side. I am easy to get along with and I can adapt quickly to new environments. I have a heart for people and like to see others succeed.
