Hello I'm Michael ...
a software developer with a wide range of experience in application areas and types. I am serious about creating designs that meet requirements, are flexible, and can be maintained for long product lifetimes.
Business Applications
I help companies small and large to make most of their business.
I study workflows and find bottlenecks in processes. Then I create tools to help people focus on their job and perform their tasks more efficiently saving them from tedious repetitive tasks.
Typical applications involve:
- Process automation
- Document flow and management
- Content and client management systems
- Invoicing and document approval
- Resource and process planning systems
- Financial analysis applications
- Domain specific languages
Web Applications
I deal with all aspects of creating scalable and robust web applications and backends.
System architecture, information architecture, data modelling using relational and non-relational datastores, data processing, backend and web development using open source tools like Python and Django are my daily bread.
Typical applications involve:
- Python and Django web application development
- Data modelling using relational and non-relational datastores (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, ElasticSearch and more)
- Data processing, data mining, analytics and reporting
- Targeting OpenStack and other cloud platforms
- RESTful APIs definition and integration
- Backends for mobile applications
- Data retrieval and screen scraping
- Social services integration
- Website performance optimization
- Browser extensions
- HTML5, Angular, React, Sass, Css Frameworks and media queries are my friends too
