I’m a backend developer, with over 25 years of experience in the field. Started in a hardware laboratory I early changed sides and started my software career on DEC/VMS platforms implementing real time control software for letter sorting machines. Apart from some gui based applications I really enjoyed working in the backend and worked for quite a while in the banking sector implementing card management systems or e-banking systems using CORBA technologies on Solaris and implementing in C/C++. After migrating to New Zealand I joined startup Adscale. At Adscale I found my place (again in the backend) implementing the adserver using Java/Spring, DHM, Postgresql, Vertica, activeMQ/Camel, Maven and many other backend technologies that allows us to run real time auctions for hundred`s of million requests per day. ©
