If a thing is worth doing, it's worth doing well. This is why you should hire me: - Genuinely interested in programming - Always Looking to improve myself (and anyone else who is interested) - Nice guy - Improve every day tasks by automation and scripting Experienced polyglot server-side developer who can design and build scalable web applications, or APIs. A RESTful design ensures decoupled, stateless parts which will deliver on scalability and extensibility. Immutability and a well defined workflow will provide concurrency and performance. Java and Spring-MVC is what I normally use, but I am not afraid of trying Scala, Play and Akka. A developer’s job is not over because something ‘works’. You have to make sure whoever comes after you is able to understand it. That’s why it’s important to write self documenting code covered by extensive unit tests. Test Driven Development (or Behaviour Driven Development) is an excellent tool to help you with this.
