I'm developing software since I was a kid, when my parents bought me a Spectrum ZX (in which I also played great videogames...). I've worked at startups, where a developer is a real full-stack developer (from frontend to backend, from building to maintaining, from the cave to customer-facing meetings) and also at big companies, where stability and keeping high product quality standards is a must. Along my career I have been involved usually in development, design and architecture, for small and huge projects. Worked in waterfall and agile environments.

Now I'm working at a Dutch company as Solutions Architect for a project based on microservices. I like keeping ways of working as practical as possible but, at the same time, producing proper documentation and sharing knowledge.

I'm the author of the blog about software development The Practical Developer: https://thepracticaldeveloper.com and the book Learn Microservices with Spring Boot.
