Building stuff since the dawn of times.

I've seen it all. Frontend since mid-90s, PHP since late 90s, Laravel since 2014. HTML, CSS, JavaScript (vanilla or not). React was the first one, Vue followed quickly, but nowadays I'm good with AlpineJS or similar. For backend work now it's Golang. Containers, a bit of kubernetes. Extensive experience with system integrations.

Never stopped learning, never will. Tons of experience, perspective and ability to see solutions as a whole. certain that the more i know, the less i know that i know.

Managing is my day job. Building stuff is something I still quite enjoy. I'm happy to be in a position where I am able to chose interesting stuff to work on.

Some highlights

• When not actually doing it myself, I consult on how to approach, plan, build, deliver and maintain things, including tools, technologies, methods and required staff.

  • Project to read Latvian press on this day 100 years ago at periodika.laacz.lv.
• Service to aggregate traffic, weather, waze, and other types of data and allow for end users to set up rules to manage variable signs using NTCIP and traffic lights.
• Automated city lights management based on readings from illumination sensors with failover and high failure tolerance.
