About Me

Software Engineering

Currently, I'm a Principal Software Engineer for HealthSherpa.

I used to be a CTO at four separate startups, largeset of which was Wanelo.

I was a Staff Software Engineer at Coinbase and Fossa.

Ruby

I am big open-source proponent, and I wrote about a few dozen open-source Ruby gems with over 120M downloads.

Among the most popular gems are:

  • colored2 — ASCII color ruby gem
  • sym — Symmetric encryption vi CLI or API based on OpenSSL
  • simple-feed - Redis based backend for twitter-like feeds
  • puma-daemon — Puma daemonization library

DevOps, Build, and Systems Configuration

I do a lot of Infrastructure and Scalability work, so among my other projects are:

Music

I play piano, guitar and drums.

I've been DJ-ing since the vinyl days (house, tech-house, progressive, techno, downtempo)

I also have been composing and producing electronic music for over 20 years,

Hardware Projects

I have also written projects in C/C++ for Arduino platform.

Some of my popular projects and posts are:
